Hidden problems I can’t save
All black gardens safe my prey
Shrouded in darkness you can’t see
I’m the problem it can’t be
Im that selfish stuffed in a blanket
Of the filth inside of a bloody murder
You tried to fight it
But no one can stop you
You’ve been caught red handed
Don’t you remember their name
Sheltered life you’ve been bright
Blaming everything but common sense on the crime
Now that I’m afraid of homicidal tendencies
Blueprints of false pretenses
The tattered rags that you wear are perfectly primitive
Blue eyes turning red searching for evidence
You’re lost but giving in
Save your breath and search for it
You’re crossed and losing it
Your light is fading
Your eyes pale skin look deeper you’ll find the evidence
Your knife their skin It’s written on your face.
You’re sitting and talking
To the faceless and proudly suspicious
Tracing your footsteps in a dark room
Your prize is lurking behind you
I’m not afraid
