The Hunter

All inked up, she wants to play

Til he warns her, low, to keep away

The shaking bones of her birds cage chest

Is where she wants his hands to rest.

But he won't flinch, that she knows;

He whispers "babe, there's far to go".

New

Beautiful pain, so much to gain

Deep inked words on a skeletal frame.

Discipline

In crowded deserts and empty streets

She wants to know when they will meet.

But through crowded deserts and empty rows

She really wonders, how far to go?

Her body aches, her body screams

You hear her cry please Set Me Free

Stain

And deep below skin where hope will begin

I'll paint my feelings black.

With needles sharp and a wounded heart

I'll let the pain attack.

Fire

It's easy to say you never knew me

Yet you found it no trouble when you tore and threw me

Aside, you put me, you didn't care

Yet you still were the one to cry about "fair".

You weren't ever honest, you really could lie

But in your defense, so could I...

Forbidden

And even though your body's banned,

I'd like to take you by the hand.

And even though there leers a fright,

I'd like to hold you, through the night,

Be with you, out of sight,

Not shy away from your villain's bite.

Counterfeit

Like cigarettes and sin as our days begin

The nights that follow fall.

You left the room while the speakers boomed

Only to follow his call.
