hate crowded by the empty room

bitterness will run you through

if you're in the way

love broken by the dragon's wings

prayed for one bright thing

guess i'll have to wait

dragged me out

frightened by my nakedness

frightened by my own sweet smell

i know hate

words spit into porous wind

violence blows you in

if you're in the way

mine a victim of the cold parade

silenced some might say

guess it came too late

dragged me out

frightened by my nakedness

frightened by my own sweet smell

i know hate

and it brings me comfort

then it breaks my back

precious pulls me under

till I can't get back

and you might be sorry

but this time i know

places fought for left alone

sleep can't save me numbing

dragged me out

fin my nakedness

in my own sweet smell

i know i know i know
