Your Curse

- originally written February 14, 2007 -

I see the curse that you carry around
The weight on your shoulders is profound
This world chose you to tear to pieces
And the pain, the way it never ceases

They stole your childhood from you
Innocence is something you never knew
Twisted and bent you till you broke
Stepped on your heart to make you choke

Shredded your soul with their blades
Ripped the life from you till it fades
Tore your skin, layer upon layer
You never had so much as a prayer

Now broken and beaten you carry on
This burden you'll never be able to pawn
So different that no one understands you
But it's not your fault you do what you do

And I'm captivated by your mutilation
I want nothing more than to be your salvation
I found something deep within your nothingness
Let me be the one to fill in your emptiness

Let me nurture your dead soul back to life
Make your heart beat again by pulling out the knife
I'll mend and heal your every broken bone
And melt away your heavy armor of stone
