Memento Mori

Can't you see how far I've bent? 
Fuel abuse at my expense 
The limbs that crawl up silken threads 
And swift entomb the not quite dead 

That sickening numbness hindsight hides 
Like spiders creeps out from inside 
Remember, simply don't pretend 
Both good and bad will come to end 

How love's blindfold wears so thin 
The world's too strange when seen without 
The arrow's head plunged so far in 
My body taught me just how to live on without 

You tore away a part of my body 
So virgin pure 
You fed off blood from my soul 
No longer will your silhouette haunt me 
Reject obsession 
Let it burn in the cold 

Writhing, wriggling free 
From all the superficial constraints 
But that sickening numbness hindsight hides 
Like spiders creeps out from inside 

How love's blindfold wears so thin 
The world's too strange when seen without 
The arrow's head plunged so far in 
My body taught me just how to live on without 

Your fingers burn their prints on my skin 
But greedy hands can't grope their way into my mind 
No more will your venom reach my awe-glazed eyes 
(Permanent scars) 
Though my last hope was strangled 
Although you've burned me 

That corpse constantly shadowing my every move 
With each step I take pavement grinds my flesh away 
The precious static rest beneath my slumber holds me up 
Though persuasion pulls me down.
