Sometimes I need to start with a blank slate
Sometimes I feel myself begin to dissipate
And the motions around me begin to move slowly
The sounds and the noises live quietly
Lying there in a vast emptiness within myself
Devoured by the dark that enters my heart

And the darkness devours us all
Turn around, brace yourself for the fall
It’s a lot to take in
Taste the salt on my skin
Shut your eyes then return to it all

The graveyard is a quiet place
For those who cannot see
They don’t realize the life in the dead
In those who cease to be
And when I see you cry
I’m reminded of your lie

And the darkness devours us all
Turn around, brace yourself for the fall
It’s a lot to take in
Taste the salt on my skin
Shut your eyes then return to it all

I miss your smile your sweet embrace
The memories of our happy days
The months gone by get a bit colder
The light shed turns a quick shoulder
The sound of laughter grows weaker
Lost is the hide and seeker

And the darkness devours us all
Turn around, brace yourself for the fall
It’s a lot to take in
Taste the salt on my skin
Shut your eyes then return to it all

I close my eyes and you I see
Smiling back, motioning to me
The look on my face, the sound of your voice
Your demeanor so poised
I walk to you, you float to me
As graceful as one could be
You touched my hand and sparks flew
I knew then I wanted you

It was draped under your flesh
It was draped under my flesh
Dancing wildly in the rain
We could neither feel fear nor pain
Our bodies trying to take flight
Fighting the truth with all my might

Run away with me, let’s disappear
As I said these words you shed a tear
Kissed me oh so softly with a sigh
As my hand brushed against your thigh
You gazed into my eyes viewing my soul
For that moment I felt completely whole
Squeezed me tightly against your chest
Felt your beating heart flutter your breast

It was draped under your flesh
It was draped under my flesh
Dancing wildly in the rain
We could neither feel fear nor pain
Our bodies trying to take flight
Fighting the truth with all my might

Slowly you let go and I began to fall
All the while you stand so tall
I felt myself slip out of control
Spinning faster than ever before
Awakened by the dawns light
Realizing my past nights fright
You were always a dream, nothing more
My aching heart still is sore

It was draped under your flesh
It was draped under my flesh
Dancing wildly in the rain
We could neither feel fear nor pain
Our bodies trying to take flight
Fighting the truth with all my might
