My Silver Bullet

Get your hands off me

Let go of your grip

Your fingers have pried into my soul

And you stain my heart with your touch

Your grip is strangling me

And I can't bare the feel of your skin

You leave these fingerprints on me

And though I try to wash them they turn black and blue

And I can't stay here anymore

As I slowly turn into you

You cling too tight

You won't let go

You leave this shadow looming large

Spreading from my past

And bleeding like ink

Across the page that was supposed to be my story

The empty place you have left

It breathes hauntingly on my every thought

The vacancy is always a step behind me

A step before me

Trapped in between who you were supposed to be

And who I will become

And as this full moon rises

And the veins begin to beat with fire

As the fangs grow long and I howl in desire

For the blood that you spilled once too

Will I catch my reflection in time

In time to see what I have become

The monster I have become

That I have become you?

Let the moon never rise again

Let me never again see the night

Let the sun burn away

Away all that lurks inside

The light of the day that scorches the earth and burns the grass and starves the rivers and kills the earth

Immolate the beasts beneath the skin

And let only ashes remain

For you to stick your fingers in

Build your doppleganger from them if you will

But just let go, let go of your grip on me.
