Mystifying Grief

I 've always loved misery
Made me interesting
In the eyes of the world
Or so I believed

Tantalizing, paralyzing, mystifying grief
The hold you had on me

Like a claw around my heart
Rendering me cold, old and exhausted
You made me hurt myself
As much as I deserved

You fed on my anger
Distrust and endless lust
You fed on my anger

My misery was kept alive
for your own pleasure

Tantalizing, paralyzing, mystifying grief
The hold you had on me

With some help from another realm
Your grasp around my heart
Was torn away
You are left alone no one to control

Tantalizing, paralyzing, mystifying grief
The hold you had on me

I lose my grief
To be born again
In the eyes of the world

Tantalizing, paralyzing, mystifying grief
Tormentor of old
The hold you had on me is gone
Your reign has come to an end
Your reign has come to an end
