Withered And Torn

by Rihanna

Take my eyes,
compare your own damnation,
you are the same
a fallen soul.
Breaking the soul my words are worthless
fading through time my confidence deceased.
Through my eyes winter fog, this is why, this is I.
Fall damned and disgraced
can you see now I will not believe
darkness has taken my soul (reside in my thoughts). Haunted by visions, attacked by the serpents of doom
holding onto me; craving the taste of my blood
(seven years as beast I have been cursed).
Fake a smile, wear a mask,
hidden truths, hidden lives
this war will last forever.
Fallen soul trapped in hell,
darkness frees, light reveals.
Push me back into the shadows.
As I walk through the land of fallen
souls ghosts rip me, savouring my flesh.
Take me this time silent lullaby, show me wrath,
show me pain - I will show you mine.
Back through time my heart is broken,
in my past my future burns.
A black rose withered and torn stands
alone never known
always knowing.
