The city is calm in the corona sea
Tt
There is a hell
Beyond the worst
A place where living
Becomes a curse

A restless feeling
Trapped within your gut
When you know your time
Is almost up

Passion dies
In the fear of night
There's no comfort
In the struggle of life

The heart sinks
The mind slips
Even the hand
Can hardly grip

The darkest day of a soul
Shines compared to this lowest low.

I don’t rely on anything for my happiness
That is of my own

I once made the mistake of wishing
“Want” is to be disowned
If demons looked like demons,
evil would be rare.
It's the demons dressed like angels,
that you must beware.
I'd give you the world,
If I could.

But you became mine
and so the world
was given
to me.
Another sweet nothing
you ruined me and you didn’t even know it
because you didn’t even know my name
but it was your smile
it was the brightest smile
i have seen in awhile.
i’ve been in the dark lately
so when your face lit up the room
i became attached
like a moth
to a fire
