God, save my soul,
I'm guilty of the crimes I've been accused,
as my sentence, I confess my sins, give into my pride.
I'll leave you in the morning, like an act of suicide,
a constant burden turns into your heavy loss.
Your trust in me was betrayed the moment I said I'd stay,
out of respect, all that's left is to walk away.

The light from the hallway filters into the room,
and all I can think of is always you.
The light to my dark, you could light up the sky,
your beauty which has no reason or rhyme.

Through your fingertips I feel your soul,
the sensation sends my blood surging through my veins,
straight into my beating heart.
I will rip my chest open,
cracking through my ribs,
and let my intoxicated blood rush into the palms of my hungry hands,
just so I can have a taste of your sweet, sweet spirit.

The sun masks the darkness of the earth,
just as her beauty masks the darkness of her soul,
blinded by the light, she cowers away in fear of reality,
******* the life out of her by rejecting what's true.
There is no balance that she seeks,
heavy shadows are cast over her eyes,
blocking the world from seeing her soul,
refusing to let in the light.
She let's herself be free,
takes off her clothes to be caressed by gloom,
dances by herself with ease,
and in the dark, illuminates.
Without the light she learns her way,
finds herself within her soul,
sees what's true, blindness succumbed,
she has become completely devoted to darkness.

Slicing my arm open,
what a lovely thought,
red blood oozing out of every cut.
But i'll never have the courage,
instead i'll lay and dream,
pretending death will soon come,
whispering in my ear,
as I walk into the city street,
standing in the middle with no fear.

I need you.  You have invaded my heart
like an army looking for bloodshed in the
most important battle of the war.
You have left my heart ripped open,
dripping the hot blood of the most crimson
red the world has ever seen.
My veins are reworking themselves to spell
out your name.  Look closely,
you can see them through my translucent skin.

I'm reaching out for you but the air is cold.
The oxygen that fills my lungs smells of only ice.
No one is near, you're so far away.
I can't stay with you.  You are warm, I am cold.
You're wrapped up and I'm abandoned.
You sleep well with the ghost of another,
I don't sleep. Empty spaces in my bed,
empty spaces in my heart.

Don't talk to me like that; I can't take it.
I fall.  Don't talk to me.  I can't take it.
I fall. Each word that comes out of your mouth.
I trip on it, I lose my grip. I fall. My balance lost
forever with you. I fall. I'm in love. I fell.
And i'm still so cold.
And my heart is still bleeding.

...and now i'm searching within myself to find my deficits,
you seem to have spotted them easily,
like laced cobwebs along untouched bookshelves.
You say our pieces don't fit together,
we're both puzzles but i'm from the wrong box,
mostly scattered along the dusty shelf.
