Depraver

By Temerity

Speak to me with flamboyant inflection

Breed in me sweet apocryphal deception

Touch my eyes, penetrate my brain

Pulses quicken and the blood will rain

Charmed by allure and curiousity

Soul Siphon disguises his atrocity

Charismatic attempts to anesthetize

'Til the moment when I recognize

Dissonant tones, corruption in your stare

With sudden sobriety, I become aware

With strength you never anticipated

From the beast in me that you created

With indulgence only I can savor

I eat the flesh of my depraver
