Wiggling and burning in the conscious eye,
The sinner hides from his sin.
Life falls apart. Spun are the lies.
Deception loosed upon others.
Crimson is the blood that drips from the soul.
Tainted the man has become.
Passion has led from his heart.
Indeed he will soon be discovered.
Yet, he goes on covering his wrongs.
-Trying to live in both worlds.
He wants what he has but covets yours.
And he damages others to hold onto both.
Darkness showed his wicked heart.
Into the shadows, he hides.
While his deceit he wears on his sleeves.
He is pitiful.
He is me.
