Personal Toy

Watch the color drain from my face
When I realize I'm in the wrong place
Every time I get a glimpse of who you are
Just leave me stranded on a dead star,

It's cold now in a world with no heart
Just like you I should have known from the start
Dancing from the strings like a Marionette
This puppet chose to be your pet,

Lessons are like blisters from being burned
Wisdom is never given its always earned
Like your stomach that always churned
Your ulcers from the guilt you discerned,

Like atrocities on a planetary scale
Like an army destroyed by stones of hail
I'll steer the rudder and set sale
Wouldn't be ironic to see your face turn so pale?

The voice of the dragon that dominates our airwaves
Keeping the fools as perpetual slaves
They are oblivious to an entity that saves
The scorched remains of aging graves,

What could I have done to stem the tide?
Like any fool who went for a ride
From the truth all I wanted was to hide
Before the great fall comes the pride,

There's an empty house where I'm now living
Betrayal is a gift that just keeps on giving
This month was cold but perhaps it'll get better
I can't say that I completely regret that I met her,

There's a hole in me where there once was joy
The Trojan Horse arrived and laid siege to Troy
I was as much a fool as any young dear boy
Lust dooms you to be any woman's personal toy.
