Threatened by Legend

Call it legend when the cameras decode my face.
No matter how portrayed, it won't change.
Congratulations, you have won nothing.
My existence can't abate all the reasons you're afraid.

I thought I had you when the road cut short.
Oh, Deceiver, I've deceived you,
So now I'm pleased to disbelieve you.

Pray you nevermore have the strength to reach the shore
'Cause once you're back I'll settle the score.
Pray you evermore that I'm locked behind this door
'Cause once I'm out I will even up the score.

Call it legend that the door can break.
No matter how portrayed, my body still remains
Untouched, unscathed by any blade.
Design a barricade to keep my will at bay.

Pray you nevermore have the strength to reach the shore
'Cause once you're back I'll settle the score.
Pray you evermore that I'm locked behind this door
'Cause once I'm out I will even up the score.

I can't believe this,
A bane with no disdain,
Infected by the source from which it came.

Define a curse.
I'm well rehearsed with breathing fiction.
Provide me my addiction
To break hearts beyond repair.
I am blessed to breathe your air.
I am blessed to breathe you in.
I am blessed.

My blood is cold.
My bones are old,
But you still have them.

I wish you'd stop writing in stanzas, it makes it so difficult to read :p
