Overcast - Iconoclasm

I surrender My fingers reach out trembling I try so desperately to touch you As the blood seeps from your eyes Spilling on to these cold hands The crimson stains far beyond my human embodiment Outside unscathed Inside torn completely More baggage I must carry the weight Pummeling I stab myself with questions over and over Command me I surrender I am yours I no longer sleep Kept awake for my selfish crimes Living out this life sentence Forced to view each and every frame of the picture Eternally looped Constantly rewound and played Eternally looped Cradled by the guilt I lay twitching, convulsing Still she watches enchanted by it She drools at the pain she inflicts You fade from my grasp But I am still drawn forward The flames flicker I swallow to keep them down It singes my tongue and blisters my throat It tares at me I give up I surrender Let someone else go through this Hell I quit
