Loves Knife

Shadows creep in darkened halls,

Secrets whisper, silent calls,

Trust betrayed, the venom leaks,

Broken souls, the darkness creeps.

Loving fools with hearts so blind,

Built on lies, the truth confined,

Sweetest lies, the serpent’s kiss,

All for trust, then turned to this.

Betrayal’s sting, the wounds that burn,

Lessons hard, they never learn,

Eyes deceive, the smile’s a mask,

Falling hard behind the past.

It’s the ones you love that will stab you deep,

Knife in the back, while you’re asleep,

Betrayed by friends, by love’s cruel game,

Burning bridges, nothing to tame.

Promises shattered on the floor,

Echoes of what came before,

Loyalty’s a dying flame,

Lost in shadows, dead in name.

Trust is a fragile, broken glass,

Shattered dreams, they never last,

Watch your step, keep your guard,

Love’s a sword, it leaves its scar.

It’s the ones you love that will stab you deep,

Knife in the back, while you’re asleep,

Betrayed by friends, by love’s cruel game,

Burning bridges, nothing to tame.

Electric wires, tearing through the dark,

A solo of chaos, a vicious spark,

Distorted screams, the guitar wails,

Nails in the coffin, bitter tales.

(Sweeep picking, whammy bar dives, dissonant chords, fast pentatonic runs, heavy distortion, chaotic improvisation)

So beware who claims your name,

Their love’s a dangerous game,

Trust is a brittle, fleeting thing,

Beware the ones who bring the sting.
