Sweet Misery



Welcome back my old friend
Sweet misery do come in.
My oh my, its been awhile
Bewitch me with your words of guile.
Say those words that cause such pain
Help me douse this one last flame
The flame that lived inside of me
The flame I once called hope
I lived inside my dreaming tree
My lifes kaleidoscope.
Treacherys the majesty
Of who I really am
The ritual of sacrifice
The slaughter of the lamb.
The darkness of your touch
Is reaching out to me
And with both hands, I now clutch
My sweet misery.
