(Bitter) Sweet Sad Misery

Oh (bitter)sweet, sad misery
Carry me away on a river of madness,
Dance with me in an ocean of tears.
Sink your teeth into my throat,
Drain my life till I am hollow�
Nothing more than an empty shell,
A caterpillar who's forgotten to
Metamorphosize.
Oh (bitter)sweet, sad misery
Choke me with your sadness,
Surround me with unknown fears.
Ignite my last string of hope,
Burn all trails I was 'sposed to follow�
Tip over my wishing well,
Leave me for the vultures to
Kill and cannibalize.

Oh (bitter)sweet, sad misery
My life is completely gone.
You've succeeded in drowning me
In a pool of my own blood.
My carcass lies cold on your shelf,
A trophy added to your collection,
Left to gather dust
While you run off once again to
Capitalize.
