Provocation

Exposing my primal side

 Dig the nails deeper into

 Those dilated eyes

 I am the devil buried alive

 Exposing my primal side

 Sink my teeth deeper into

 Your neck, your wrists

 Your mind.

I am the dark star

The desire you're hemorrhaging

The open scar

Crimson in the secrets you keep

I am marked and made

By the fire and the grave

I am these shadows incarnate

The wrath of a thousand

Faceless dead

I have come to collect

Come to perfect

The art of breaking the sky

The heart who learned to die

Before the first beat

I am the dark art

Drawn in the blood of my victims

I am worlds apart

From the corpses that litter the room

 You've miles of flesh

 I wish to expose

 And though tonight is but a breath

 Hold it close

 I am the blood spilt before the knife

 Exposing my primal side

 Sink my teeth deeper into

 Your neck, your wrists

 Your mind.
