~~Monochrome~~

A single shadow slips away--

Slips into the sickened dark.

A boy smiles sweetly,

Before slamming down the stone.

A single color--black.

Black upon the blood.

Black shadows lurking behind the back--

Back of the front door.

What waits inside, what waits inside?

Who's looking out the keyhole, sinner?

Sinner, sinner--black heart

And shining eyes.

Wet with tears, or with warm rain?

What's wrong, what's right?

Will you wait, will you run?

What's left to remake?

Monochrome agony,

Undone reality--

One color--black.

Black like the back of the front door.

Be within me, broken body--

Be here within the black.

A boy, sweet sinner, a boy--

You traded your soul for a boy.

Lover, lover, mother, father--

One broken heart

To fix one soul.

One sinner, one sinner....

Sinner, sinner, you're here.

Read like Sylvia Plath,

Write like the devil--

Black like the back of the front door.

A world at the keyhole.

A girl on the screen.

You sold your soul

For a sinner just like yourself.

Watch me--I'll paint

Your rose-colored glasses

The color I always see:

Black like the back of the front door.

Who waits, sweet sinner, for you?

You knock on the door, sweet sinner--

Who opens it up for you?

Who do you want to be there?
