Sidereal Paradox: Dead Wife Venom (Version 1.1)

(Verse 1) For family and friends to remember me, I must be someone else. I must wear a mask, a lie, as Fate would have me forgotten by Creation itself. Their smiles, their warmth, all vanish like the tide, And should I dare to love a mortal, they will die. For if I let my heart belong, the spiders descend, To claim the ones I cherish, my life they will upend. (Pre-Chorus) Curse Venus, curse fate, for making me a bringer of joy. Why must I play this role as her ceaseless toy? The stars may shine, but they torment my soul— To spread happiness, yet never be whole. (Chorus) Why was I chosen to bring delight, When a tie to me means death in the night? The threads I weave, the fates I see, Why is the only one not allowed to love… me? (Verse 2) If love I return, the spiders descend, Weaving a most horrific end. Their venom lurks, it bides its time, Killing the ones I dared call ‘mine.’ The pattern spiders in their endless toil, Claim me a burden, their work spoiled. Should I my duty and Serenity engage, My loved ones they will take in their rage, (Bridge) The Loom remembers, but all others must forget, Every bond woven turns to regret. My thread remains, frayed and alone, Set in an endless pattern with no home of my own. (Pre-Chorus) Curse Venus, curse fate, for making me a bringer of joy. Why must I play this role as her ceaseless toy? The stars may shine, but they torment my soul— To spread happiness, yet never be whole. (Final Chorus) Why was I chosen to bring delight, When a tie to me means death in the night? The threads I weave, the fates I see, Why is the only one not allowed to love… me? (Outro) I do not see… Why the only one who should not be happy …is me.
