Acting As Your Slave

My hand asleep for hours

Waiting for the needles to begin

I have no control

They proceed to penetrate my skin



Acting as your slave, I drink for amber waves

I never have embraced

Acting as your slave, I drink an open grave

An epitaph defaced



Killing with compassion

She hasn't heard a word that I have said

Swallowing your passion

I can see a thousand miles ahead



Acting as your slave, I drink for barricades

That I have often raised

Acting as your slave, I numb my head and rave

Of epitaphs defaced



Acting as your slave, I drink while she forgave

With trials left unfaced

Acting as your slave, I stumble to her grave

An epitaph defaced
