Never Say My Name

A serpent's tongue the venom drips
fangs pierce through till the flesh is ripped
false allegiances to align
wounds cut too deep to heal this time
words have meaning and they find their way back
Machiavellian schemes a constant attack
a hollow construct a house of cards
hunting for the victims to use and discard
never say my name again all the bonds have frayed
never say my name again turn and walk away
red is boiling in my eyes
which of the two faces is this
gaining from the subtraction exploiting kindness
profess to care only two ensnare with malevolent intent
Cut out all who won't surrender to your will
who refused to be bent
never say my name again all the bonds have frayed
never say my name again turn and walk away
won't ever let myself be used again
there's no way to make amends
burned so many times now an enemy
nothing lower than a traitor to me
