I am just the mirror of everything you are
Reflecting both your insides and every single scar
I can't tell what is darker, your mind or hooded eyes
So I will keep on staring to test for a disguise
And if I cannot find one, I'll know what I've become
The opposite of what I was before I came undone
A sentimental picture is all that will remain
The light that was upon me that I could not sustain

I wonder if you talk to me before you go to sleep
If everything we ever made was truly mine to keep
I think about it constantly, the way we said goodbye
But never fully understood and sit here asking why
And did you know that every day I go back to that night
When we were in each other's arms and you were holding tight
I tried to speak but could not seem to have my way with words
And then released the two of us, we flew away like birds
And even now it's only when I look into the clouds
That I can feel you falling down like rain upon my doubts
I'm dancing now as we once did so many times before
In hopes that you will come to me and stay
*forevermore

have you ever felt like your words were rain
like they were meant for only the thirstiest souls
and as soon as you opened your mouth, you began the search
which turned into a realization -
every single person needs water
including you
sometimes one single cup is enough
(those sporadic moments spent with strangers you'll never see again)
others demand more
time be the gauge
as for those you're in constant contact with
well, measure infinity
if (and only if) it is so, what you're pouring out can only be what you've taken in
these two are one and the same
well, we must be in a drought

We used our hands to spark a flame that we could not contain
But just because we're burning doesn't mean we won't remain
This heat is made of something that is keeping us alive
In order to embrace it we are walking side by side
And as you move I'll go with you without a single doubt
Let time relieve the scars that make my purposes devout
I can't imagine anything but you and me and this
A perfect whole that's made of what we thought we could resist
For you are only present when I love the way should
Beyond the roads I traveled, ones I thought I understood

I crawl in through your weaknesses and take up all their space
I prey 'til what's inside you shows itself upon your face
and when the smirks and grins appear I come out through your eyes
infecting your perception like a swarm of hungry flies
now listen to their buzzing while I tune your ears anew
and you will sing the song I wrote specifically for you
I'll join you in the chorus and I'll help you hit the notes
then tie up all the souls we draw and take them out in boats
we'll throw them in the waters of the raging salty sea
and wait until they foam like you with gangrene jealousy
you'll think you want what they all have and they will fight you back
an orchestrated blood storm that is fueled by what you lack
(the mind I took away from you when I made my attack)

Came a night without a moon, the stars were hidden too
So I began to search for light I thought I'd find in you
Follow me and trust my steps, you whispered in my ear
And soon your breathy voice became the only one I'd hear
Closer came your flesh to mine, inside your chest I hid
Away from comprehension and from all of what I did
My thoughts had run to marry yours, to make our union known
But I could not commit myself and nothing could be shown
So there I was, a part of you, malignancy within
And yet you seemed to treat me like your body's only skin
I'd stretch and clothe your heavy bones, enhance your sense of touch
To feel the burns you'd give to me if I had asked too much
And so the days would pass along, I waited just to die
For then you'd have to carve me out, remove me from your mind
And gentleness need not apply for it has long been lost
So use your mouth and finish this, I finally accost
