Feeling empty
Tempting fate
Lurking in the shadows
The wind whispers your name

Thoughts that steep
In lies so deep
No emotion, raw
No one else to blame

The door locked
You’ve got the key
No way out
Set me free

The dark venom 
Shines in your eyes
I hear it in your voice
And believed what you said

You made me lie
I wanted to be true
I hid it so well
And so did you

It’s all just a dance
As we sway in the fog
Two lost souls
Dying in the coals.
