Warnings: Slash, angst, ugly degrading hate sex and violence.
Author’s Notes: This piece is set during the course of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Several of the sentences have intentionally been left vague- you’ll have to figure out which character they apply to.
The world is a vampire, sent to drain
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
And what do I get, for my pain?
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
Even though I know - I suppose I’ll show
All my cool and cold - like old job
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
Smashing Punpkins
