Striding beside you beneath blinding lights
Over worn tiles that still reflect it's gleam
Walls plastered with the faces of the dead
With us not as lucky to join them underground
"Blood will have blood" the pictures whisper
But you urge me to pay no mind
Sustained in belief I reach for your hand
So close yet so far away
"I love you like I love the night
And from that I cannot hide."
Confusion is painted on your solemn face
Wishing you would understand, I turn away
Your touch on my arm send shivers up my spine
Turning to match your solid, loving gaze
I see the world in your brilliant blue eyes
Falling for your illusions again
Just as I always have, I will fall and fall again
So long as your there to catch me
Never will I need my tattered wings to fly
Nor my broken heart to love again
"Join me in death"
Your liquid smooth voice makes me quiver inside
A rapid beating in my chest quickens
I am here with you, as I have always been
Ravenous creatures we are
Hiding from the light of day
Dying inside, we've wept so long
Never able to wash the blood from our hands
Though we torture each other
With words, with actions, with sweet nothings
And dream at nights of worlds that never were
The love is there, but the mind's not at ease
Though it's dangerous and possibly misplaced
I trust you with my heart's ashes
All the love I have to give
My faded Metallic blood is yours to keep
There are ups and downs, and sides at times
With you I've been through each one
Drastic highs and tragic falls
But remember, sometimes the fall kills you
Nonetheless, I will stay in this darkness with you
As long as my soulless body will remain and more
This moment locked in these hallowed halls
Feeding on sweet memories we never had
These memories that kill... |
