Chain

 

chained right to a crystal ball
the future is behind a wall
like sitting on the needles and the pins
and watching angels fall

coiled to her ankles like snakes
as her body softly shakes
frozen eyes don't want to dream
splitting at the seams
frozen will and iron chain
rust blood scars remain
now she's by herself
now she's left alone
now everything caves in
like the broken bone
and she's still in chains

look at the tungsten strings
entangle the heart and clip the wings
look at the vibrant holes
that puncture the skies like totem poles
bleed from a wrist
caress with a fist
a brief intermission
made in the midst
of a nightmare that you never dreamed
you would surface from
the moon above
look at the moon above
your on your back and you stare at your beautiful moon above

now she's by herself
now she's left alone
now everything caves in
like the broken bone
and she's still in chains

lost in a cause
cause and affect
infection of one
and now neglect
and she's still in chains

as he will touch your body
watch as he will touch your wrist
as you two come together
as you two will never kiss
are you sure if this is your heaven or a form of hell
bam it's too late he's in your wishing well
and now she's by herself and now she is left all alone
now everything caves in just like it was the broken bone
and when she sets it down she sits right by the telephone
and now the man she thinks she loves his heart is made of stone
now everything she dreams it falls apart before her eyes
he calls her back but feeds her nothing more than lines of lies
her heart and mind in chains he's in her head she can't explain
the way he's hurt her harder as she feels her love in vain
look at the moon above you're full of hate and guilt and lust
and love look at the moon above
a roller coaster ride a push and shove
look at the moon above
