reserved with chemicals, purple eyes still glazed and bright
dreams of colors fading, thoughts reduced to black and white
in the madness alley, lunatics wait for her slip
sanity is failing, saved her life but lost her grip

loving her own ego, stimulate the blackened soul
oxygen is leaving, loves to death, but hates control
drowning in [bad word]  threatened by the passing lights
dwelling in her magic, cursing angels out of spite

the whispers never fade away, the sorrow turns to greater pain
she tries to will herself to sleep, the death cradle is bittersweet
saves a kiss for him tonight, empty hopes to heal the fright
sheds no tears, awaits her fate, emotionless, her soul sedates

gazing at the fire, burning all her memories
reflecting [bad word] desire, now she'll wait for centuries
the shining of the moon will pierce a hole inside her mind
she can't escape from time when death is on the clock she winds

the whispers never fade away, the sorrow turns to greater pain
she tries to will herself to sleep, the death cradle is bittersweet
saves a kiss for him tonight, empty hopes to heal the fright
sheds no tears, awaits her fate, emotionless, her soul sedates
