I’ve never been sure about anything
I’ve always had one foot out the door
Watching the exits, ready to escape
For when doubt finds the sign its been looking for

I only fall in love with someone after they’re gone
I can never love someone the same time they love me
The only love I can accept is the unrequited
Because any other form would be quite above me

They ask me Ice Queen, why are you so mean?
Why do you lead all the men to their cold deaths?
A siren singing at the edge of a frozen forest
Waiting like a predator to take their last breaths

And here I am again
Using the same old trick
Building these walls back up
Brick by brick

When you first met me I was barely a human being
I was so in love with a dream I could hardly see straight
But something in you made my world a brighter place
And the chaos from my former life began to dissipate

But with every new connection I’ve ever made
There’s always been some secret storm lurking
The trick is to pull away before you get hurt
Before everything falls to pieces and stops working

I tried so hard to look past all your imperfections
But no matter how I look I can’t picture my life with you
When I felt the dynamic change, saw the look in your eyes
I knew I had no choice but turn my back on you

They ask me Ice Queen, why are you so mean?
Why do you lead all the men to their cold deaths?
A siren singing at the edge of a frozen forest
Waiting like a predator to take their last breaths

And here I am again, back to square one
Scared as hell to ever let anyone in
Building these walls because it’s all I’ve ever done
Brick by sullen brick

When you decide to leave me
I'll quench my thirst in the Lethe
Let the river water deceive me
And leave that life behind.
If going to heaven means I remember
I would rather burn in the ember
I will be ****** as one more member
Of my own prison of a mind.

When you come upon the Lethe
Will you choose not to see me?
While my heavy legs beneath me
Grow weary of this futile crusade
Will you drink oblivion and forget
Or choose to live with the regret
Claim it was a mistake we ever met
And forsake the love we made.

Please don’t drink the water
Please don’t wash me away
Please don’t drink oblivion
Please don’t think I’m already gone

And here I was thinking that once I pulled myself out of the storm
All the rain would be gone
And I put so much of my faith in these pills, in the quick fix
To atone for the things I have done
That I forgot they couldn't mend you

I’m not broken anymore
But still you remain in the storm without me
But I won’t go back out there
I won’t follow you down
Because if I do I know I’ll never find my way home again

And I can see the empty stare in your eyes
There is no passion behind anything you say
Your embrace is out of obligation and guilt
And I wonder how much longer I can live this way

I rise above the clouds
While you sink lower into something I understand all too well

I am addicted to your velvet fatigue
Hypnotize me with your somnolent eyes
Leave me with nothing but intrigue
I swear I could move a mountain in my sleep
In our liquid mercury dream is where we shall always meet

Polaris guides our hearts tonight
In a silent conspiracy
A plight we might never see
As fate would make it be
Again I’m falling asleep beneath your sheets
A dream so warm and so complete

Let there be no boundaries
No barriers to mark where one ends and the other begins
Let’s move as one shape in the shadows
And invite the darkness to come in

Your landscapes compete with those of Eden
I must be lying beside a god veiled as a man
I want nothing more but to taste you
Never let the night waste you
The once forbidden fruit that is now mine
You’ve opened your heart’s doors so wide
And I can’t wait to get inside

The hands of the clock strike the darkest hour
I feel the pleasure of being held within your power
And just as you protect me
The moon hangs vigilant in the sky
Your gentle whispers are a lullaby
And I wish the sun would never rise

Let there be no boundaries
No barriers to mark where one ends and the other begins
Let’s move as one shape in the shadows
And invite the darkness to come in

I’m addicted to your velvet fatigue
And Polaris guides our hands tonight
Hold me beneath your dark sheets
And lead the way to eternity

Whilst I was dreaming, streaming up and down my arms
The confining, winding vine
I became another stone in the great wall
Which lines this labyrinthine

One door leading to another, my steps echo upon the stair
If I don’t believe it, I can’t perceive it
That’s the advice you always gave me
But I was too stubborn to ever receive it

There was some confusion over the illusion
And now the fusion has occurred
Don’t bother trying to dig me out of the hole I’ve made
I’d rather my screams never be heard

A silent midnight hides my vengeance
In the comfortable depths of my abyss
Please tell me you don’t understand
So I can explain the meaning of all of this

Rapid eye movement, shutting me down
Fathoming the phantoms eating my soul
Don’t come any closer, or you’ll be a monster like me
An empty shell, delusion filling the hole

Your chimerical notions of bravery sustain me
Starlight keeping time with my every heart beat
You are the only dream, the only perfection
All else in my eyes has become obsolete

The vines entwine our hands
The maze once endless is now clear
Why do you save me every time, even if I don’t want saving
Why do you destroy all that I fear

Eye lids pried open and even in reality it’s always you
The darkness calling me, and I remain thinking
I wish to be among the stone, wrapped in vine alone
Tricked by the eyes, in the abyss I am sinking…sinking..

Whilst I was dreaming, streaming up and down my arms
The needing, bleeding vine
I became another victim of love
I became yours and you became mine.

For how long will thee wait here for nothing?
Will the tide have come, will the sun be set?
Will new light sever, will the new day sing?
When will thee give in and simply forget?
How many times have thou fail’d to see fact
That thy lover has now cast thee aside?
Thy pride has been bent but remains intact
Yet the dreams thy once dreamt once more will hide.
Wings of mine have offer’d armor to thee
Yet thou seem’d to be afraid of flying
Frighten’d that I am thy lover to be?
Thou wilt not love, but delicate dying?
Do not mistake ignorance with blindness;
Do not despise love, rather your kindness.
