Veronika Scarlet

I used to trace her arm with my fingers
To make sure she wasn't still bleeding
From her wrist, to her elbow
Touching her name for the evening.
...

There's a sheet of paper in your pocket
A rythm of secrets from beginning to end
You were given access to a piece of evidence
Which states that completely guilty I've pled
...

How I wish to be what troubles your sleep
What makes your hands shiver in the cold
What brings the oceans to your eyes
And the heavens to your soul.
...

I spend countless hours sitting in the dark observing you
Your body lies motionless under the full moon
Your breathing so faint, I can hardly feel your chest move
I know it will stop soon, it will end soon.
...

I never knew what she symbolized
But I was aware of the importance of her appearance
A new chapter, or an enigma?
Sweet whispers, or cries in the distance?
...

We said the word we prayed never to pronounce
A sound so insidious that its memory continues
To keep us shivering at night.
A venom so hazardous that no substance ever made
...

There's an earthquake coming toward me
I have a feeling it'll be
More than four seconds long
More than a minute, maybe
...

Cotton Candy spirits
Sway across the yards of my Kingdom
And I sit in my room all through the morning
Looking out this large window
...
