I've watched the world
Entangle
Everything I love
Into a changing embrace.
And I only hope that
One day,
It

Smooth-skinned devil

Siren
Sweet songstress of turmoil

You grabbed ahold
Of my soul
Long long ago

And your grip keeps tightening

The moon won't hide us
The stars won't save me

It's beautiful and frightening

black birds circling
you'll be dead by night

but you close in
showered by dim light

the way you sway
I'm willing prey

I'll die a thousand
deaths tonight

you're terrifying
you chill me to the bone

yet enchanting
more so than I've ever known

I long
for that slow
end
at your mercy

I dream
of the fall
at your claws
Look deep into the sky
Stars spin and collide
The tails of comets play
Swirling light in their wake

Leaving a sea of glitter
Like snow in dark winter
Do you like it?
I know you do
Quite splendid
And all for you

This world has no sun
Just you, the only one
This celestial dance
Of love and chance

Is all for you
It's very true
So next time you feel alone
Lost and broken, pain unknown

Look into the gem filled sky
And know you look into my eyes
And if ever you feel
Like there's something this world cannot steal

Then take flight on wings
And bring it to me
And we will flow
Across the starry snow

But never forgetĀ 
I never regret
That once I looked to the sky
And saw only your eyes

And took my flight
Just like you
Escaped my plight
For something true
Once again I find myself
Outside the dream peering in
But at least I found myself
Once again
What are you supposed to say,
How are you supposed to talk,
When the world stops listening?
