It's All Around

By Liath

Here I am standing in the door
Quietly perceived
Now I'm screaming more
My hate has been reconceived

Don't you see me here
I am about to die
Can't you feel me near
Open your fucking eyes

Did you feel me slap you
Across the face?
Reach out infront of you and feel around
But nobody's there
It's all around

Can't you remember me?
I'm the one who set you free
Everything I did for thee
Turned around and murdered me

Did you hear me scream your name?
Hold out your hands and pray for the light
Its' about time I set things right
Raise your chin and embrace the pain

So hold me while I bite
Let it go into me
It's useless to try to fight
I finish you with a child's glee

As you're thrown to the ground
Your pain will set me free
My motives I hope you've found
This is what you get for saying you're over me
