"Let's drink to forgetting while losing our heads
Let's die on the highway, and live in our beds"

We gambled with Reason, and lost every bet
There's much to remember, and more to forget

In time, Love allured me through all of my doubt
But when my mouth opens, will daggers come out?

I fell for a dreamer, and She fell for me
But, we're just pretending that we will be free

Bright green, like my envy: Her eyes pierced my heart
We wrote Masquerading, and sold it as art

Of all of my demons, I miss Her the most
Let's drink to pretending there's something to toast...

Her heart is unobtainable
She haunts me in my sleep
My will is not sustainable
There's nothing left to keep

I've seen Her in my better dreams
But, they're too far away
At night, Her livid heart still screams:
'Why can't you let me stay?!'

I feel Her still, aside my brain
She's trying to get in
I'll lose my mind if she'll remain
So, don't let Love begin

I crumble, deep inside this text
My heart's a bitter crutch
When all I know is quickly vexed
I treat my dreams as such...

I left my heart in the sand
On a beach, named Weirs
With a plight of distaste
And, a demon for every freckle on Her face...

— The End —
