Sometimes I need to ask
The demons who unmask
their faces under my feet
If they might be the same
demons who rise in flames
within stark naked beauty
sometimes I question sin
to digest it’s poison’s
and bleed it’s creed on white wings
that suspends me to hear
above heavenly tears
your innocent devil sing
Chorus
is it the depth perception
that I endlessly chase
or karma’s requiem
that I endlessly face
or is it just true love
to merely embrace
to find my state of grace
state of grace
sometimes I lose all senses
when my bruised heart undresses
loves pulse to beat against mine
and in that second kiss
we found momentary bliss
screaming down corridors of mind
sometimes I scream out god
who seems deaf to my calls
so I shout silenced whispers
to the one I dream of
beyond the ghost of love
I spiral down to find her
is it the depth perception
that I endlessly chase
or karma’s requiem
that I endlessly face
or is it just true love
to merely embrace
to find my state of grace
state of grace
Sometimes I need to ask
The demons who unmask
their faces under my feet
If they might be the same
demons who rise in flames
within stark naked beauty
