Deadly Games

Here I am

Playing deadly games

Pretending

A marionette in a masquerade

Strings of life they choke me

But

Death is what controls me

The twisted coils of my mind

Play me

Push me closer to the edge

Destroy me

Grotesquely dressed in a smile

I play the part again

Lies

A tainted smile hides my broken soul

I am haunted

By demons running lose in my mind

Whispers

Calling me to death's sweet embrace

Embrace me

My blood stained hands

Quiver

As death's soul draws closer to me

Drawing

The breath out of my weary lungs

I play a deadly game

One I cannot win

A marionette

Forced to dance within the flames
