You had colored our white walls
Pitch black...
Said all the words
You can't take back...
Strangled my heart
With your bare hands...
Deserted my mind
In your strange lands...
-
I tried to close my eyes
And sleep, but...
The nightmares
Were more real
When I'd wake up...
-
I loved her too much to let go...
I hated the thought of just waking up alone.
-
But my heart knew it was time.
Had to leave,
Or I would die...
Cut me off
From my own light...
Trying
To rescue you.
When I looked into your eyes,
I thought you were mine.
It took me some time
To realize...
I couldn't
Rescue you.
-
When I'd lie down
Facing you
I could feel desire grow...
And when I turned my
Back to you
You didn't even notice, no...
You would never notice, oh...
-
You still have on that third ring
That you stole.
Manipulated my damn soul.
When you'd roll over
And whisper: "I...I love you."
I was sleeping with
A witch
In my bed.
Enthralled my heart
And my pillows.
-
She took whatever she wanted and didn't let go...
While my only nightmare was waking up alone...
-
In a life
Where you weren't mine...
Padded rooms
With the soft light...
Going out of my damned mind...
Trying
To rescue you.
You would stare into my eyes
With a heart full of black lies.
Knowing fully that I
Would willingly die
If I
Could rescue you...
-
Not a proposal...
Not a teddy bear...
Not a childhood blanket...
Nothing ever worked...
Nothing was enough...
You were always thankless...
So very thankless...
-
When I'd lie down
Facing you
There was no desire, no...
And when I turned my
Back to you
I could feel
Inside me glow.
I could heal inside
And grow.
I realized
That I
Couldn't rescue you.
