Opaque windows on the skull
A mystery what lies inside
What wanders behind the glass
In whom do I confide
The body underneath
Accepts the torture that I must give
What cannot be forgotten
Now classified in perspective
A source of suffering
A conspiracy forced into dark
Offered to the liar
On whose soul it left a mark
Crystal pain
Ravens unfolding into rust
Where fear is adopted and fed
Left to rot, the wounded child named Trust
Crystal pain
If ever sanity can be restored
Then I give it to you
To hold to your breast
And I shall wish for no more
No more
