Defense Mechanism

The holy waters of the blackened seas
 A gulf that separated you and me
 The shadows as they weep
 A dog will chase its tail
 The beauty of creation is alien
 The solitude is your relief
 Sunlight through the wall
 Slamming of the door
 The snake curled up in sleep
 The rustle of the trees
 You swore you would return
 The hell is the others
 And the heaven is a hell
 It's my own
 It's my story
 All alone
 It's a defense mechanism
 Fight or flight
 Doesn't matter
 At least you're not asleep
 Your debts are paid in silver
 And your last coin's in the deep.
 You think you want a taste of madness?
 I think you know the taste of that wine...
 A tower shining white
 The stone within the plum
 Don't you know what they know?
 The devil hates the sun
 The brewer of the liars
 Won't need me for a while
 The killer wears a blue suit
 But I'm not wearing mine.
 Fight or flight
 It's my own
 It's my story
 All alone
 It's a defense mechanism
 Watch them go by tired
 All these beggars
 Stage is soaked with sweat
 And waltzing dead men
 Whistling in alleys
 Carpool tomorrows
 Sealed and stamped with sorrow
 Wasted, wounded
 Now that I kissed her
 Canned chatter
 Burnout gold dust
 Bury the dagger
 Cain and Abel
 Thoreau
 Now that I kissed her
 It's a defense mechanism
