You twist my words With mastered apathy A barbed solipsist verse The world beyond your mind is a mirage A charnel house Of absent empathy An imitated warmth I know your tender way is a facade Blue devil A frigid dancer in the fog No rhyme in cancer You keep me strung out on your love Gaslighter Vermin and the crown You built this Just to tear it down In desert wards You grew among the dunes And as you pulled my strings You became everything I ever knew
