Special Present

Thought you'd given me
A special present
A thing to have and
Hold and keep forever

When the smoke had cleared
The thing you left there
Wasn't a gift at all, you tricked me
It stripped me bare
It stripped me bare

Painted[unverified]
All your rooms
With laughs and fanfare
You stealed yourself away
To cover the reasons

Once the latch came off
Your vision escaped you
You faltered and you failed
It gripped you
It tripped you up again
You fell again

Take it with you, take it back
And let me breathe
I push your sickness
Away from me

It feels my senses
Built a wall that I can't see
I will your curse away from me

Rub your insides raw
Reaching for insight
Arrest your every pore
And charge it with treason

Oh, let the ill infect
Your best intentions
A legacy of sores
To bleed forever

To bleed forever
To bleed forever
To bleed forever
They'll bleed forever
