For Friend Or Foe

Take my hand, come with me
Follow broken paves of dust
Shut your eyes, believe in me
Grip the hook of your sweet trust

See the smile bared upon my face
A carved and careful grin
Ignore the painted colours that are
Dripping down my chin

Follow in my footsteps
As we walk in jagged beat
Your tears scream out submission
As your eyes admit defeat

Hand in hand we follow thread
I know exactly where the bait lies
And as we dance towards the surface
I know the shattered sun will not rise

Because I am leading you into
A broken, desperate place
The wind weeps forgotten tears
As do the cracks that line my face

My smile fixed in distortion
I’m stuck inside a warped high
I don’t feel your biting nails
I don’t see that twisted sky

I knew it all along though
That it is not me who leads
It’s my regrets that taint me
It’s my dreams what bleed

Take my hand, come with me
I just want a quiet friend
To hold my hand, to comfort me
To lead me to the end.
