...In Solitary

In solitude, soul…
Ten thousand nights alone

You claim an eternal soul
Where are you when you watch the box, when you watch the wall?

Outside your circuitry, nerves crawling out of me
I've seen things you'll never know
Shared a bed in hell, in hatred of myself
Clawed my way back all alone

Your heaven is my hell, everything I hate most in myself I find embodied in you
Through each solitary night, every moment of my life
I plot to steal your throne
When I see all the shit you do
I can't put enough crime between myself and you
Blood and urine stain these streets where all my nightmares learned to breathe
Metropolis carved out of bone
What I need I'll take, I've got a lot at stake
Your heaven is my hell, everything I hate most in myself I find embodied in you
Every knife turned in my side, every moment of my life
I plot to steal your crown

Nights of desperation break on the shores of dawn
Solitude has seven skins, no one shall enter ever again
Feel the locusts inside me rising to a boil
Hum of the silence rises like a snake crawling down my throat
But your kisses leave toothmarks
Your embraces kill
You whispers linger inside my head
But I know if I taste your poison I'll never get my fill
Came to be in solitary, climbing the ranks of humanity
Choices I've made have isolated, but this is my reward:
I've been saving while you've spent
I've been sweating while you've slept
There's going to come a time
When I can call your empire
MINE.
