A devils horns rake like thorns
Across tear stained cheeks
Ears stay deaf to all they're warned
Unwilling to listen for weeks
Grand promises young and dumb
So sickly sweet they reek
A tangled tongue hides behind gums
Forgetting how to speak
Weighed down by burdens so small
But painfully unique
Misguided legs crumple and fall
Learning what it is to be weak
Face pressed flat against cold stone
Trying to forget what was known
