The door is invitingly ajar
and you're huddled in the corner
glazed over in blind numbness.
You don't see me anymore.
How can you hide in the wool
you removed from my eyes?
I'll beg Oz to grant you a heart
since you won't take mine.

The suicidal coward crawls away
from his poison,
and blames its potency.
Gritting my teeth in a desperate laugh,
I accept the guilt you give.
Everything's my fault right?
Too bad I have nothing left to offer in return.

The ravens circle our death dance.
Take the knife dear,
finish it for me.
Temptation must be destroyed.
Only innocent blood
washes away sin.
Flush me out.
Death is the only doorway left.

Strangely grim. I think the symbols give a lot of meaning to it. I can't exactly tell what real story is behind it, but I can understand the general idea. Short, but I like it.
