Let the candles burn out, and take the steps to this last dance.  Hold each other close, and wish that our breathes matched our woes.  To figure that i loved you this much, yet its to late to spend the nights.  But i swear i won't let go, and don't let go either, cuz my heart only beats halfway without yours to follow in its way.  

And i can't stand to be between glass when everything hurts the same. So please take me, i'll guard you, please care for me, i'll never leave you.  Its hard to hear your voice when iam shouting at the sky. To thoughts and pranks to wonder why.  And finger tips pledging sorry temptations on photo frames.  While my feet pace around, and memories hold me to that night.  

But i swear i can't let go, for ive waited forever, and iam not losing you even if you're gone.  You were the only angel, that brought me home, when i was all alone.  So i cry on stone, and ask that you take me with you, but we both know that night is gone.

Iam afraid i failed to converge the scales and now these roads are derailed.  Complicated demands unmet from familiar hands, and symmetry is worth gold.  I trust my best decisions, yet they let me go.  And standards aren't what follows.  Pools with no water while rocks lay at the bottom, they've been dried for days.  

Yet I tried to walk with you in this desert, and take half the heat, but you refuse to see the truth.  You're pushing away the only comfy oasis to help regain, what you've lost from exhaust.  I could have been your shade, bringing you rest, from all the stress.  

Let the water fill you up, for its a long walk in this endless juggernaut.  Or don't take any because you feel like you have plenty. Some of us really contain more then sixty.  Yet you still try to run on empty, and your standards will never fill me.

Her
I can't push through these tears any longer, oh sweet angel, come fly to me and take hold.  Dry up my face and fix these tears on the wall.  Comfort me in no other way just lay down next to my soul.  For your touch is worth more then gold.  For i may have your heart and you have mine, they're to far apart to feel fine.  

I thank you for the gift, I will keep it safe from harm. But I am staggering to find your beat, when all my weight is in my feet.  And i am clawing at the thoughts that make me lost.  Crying never felt so good as it does when i cry on your soul.  For its the only thing i want to hold.  Even if you're gone or far away, thank you for the gift that has kept me whole.

It hits when i least expect, a spiral of pain.  A ghost with a dagger, to claim what is mine. To defeat him, I fall down a hole, broken again.  It feels like iam fighting myself and my soul won't restrain.  The devil and god raging inside, to duel it out while I wish i wasn't alive.  Ive sealed you away once, yet you've broken out just when i thought i was ok.  Only to steal what is mine, and throw me away.

The devil has finally won, and Ive become numb, I'll have to wait till hes done ****** my soul.  When hes done i can't even feel whole.  For if you knew, you would understand my pain.  Please save me when this is over, even though you can't.  Theres nothing u can do or say my heart's half black and decayed.  And the other half feels likes it's wasting away.  Yet i try and be happy but thats the disease, thats making it hurt to breathe.  

Is this punishment for a past life, am i really that bad of a person, to suffer from their roles.  At least when i push myself down, it quickly goes away, yet i don't feel right when i have to fake what i feel.  I am trying to seal you away, but its hard to try when ive come accustomed to your ways, maybe i should be the one locked away.

Pleasing the colors on the street, all the lanes turn bleak.  The motions in my seat pull my head back up to speed.  As my mind skids, I get rid of more bricks, that make me sick.  A moment where everything's better, an amusement park of letters.  The numbers seem to pull me in, as they advertise each sin.  The flashing continues, as the ride spins more, and it feels like I've been here before.  The blood on the floor, and once again another dead one.

The blood from a poet's eyes tempt a broken soul to take their life.  Bodies stretched so far over time.  Darkness envelops its rhythm, and continues to commit crime.  An ocean of madness spreads within, as blacker colors burn our skin.  Bones begin to wreak, and the heart begins to scream.  Muscles tear and age, to define we all have no face.  Eyes fade to white, and breathe turns to dust, you muster for words, but your tongue is rust.  Teeth decay and ears fall off. Nails in our brain left to feel insane, with no bed to lay.  You can't run when there's nowhere to hide, you running in a maze of lies.  Whats left to survive if we can't feel whole inside.

These walls begin to speak.  Cover them up so they don't spill.  Silence the dancers foot steps that we hear.  Noises always creeping up and then disappear.  Shut them up and nail inconveniences to the the floor. And fade away to see if your voice remains.  Its always easier to seem dead in disguise when everyone lies.  And you can read in between every line.  But don't stay to long because consciousness fades, an everlasting date.  Truth becomes lies and everyone has alibis, not to know the difference between black and white.  Nails grow longer and faces become faker.
