A every stumble, thoughts of you catch me every time But at each trip, they poison my daydreams with long gone memories. Hauntingly, they mimick my train of thought I apologize every time Those thoughts are not my own, my love I am vulnerable against their every attack Punishment for my choice not to join, And not to fight The ability to love, they lack And their bitterness enhances in the presence of my love for you So, my love, do not believe their jealous manipulation Which takes more form each time I call to you I swore to you my love I gave myself to you Look within me, the me, that I gave to you Don't watch the movements of my mind, as it was never truly mine Turn away from their evil illustrations Exhibited to invoke doubt and suspicion Look into your heart, my love, Feel the miracle we created together They did the same to me my love Attacking all senses with visions of you and disguised mistresses In the end it was all in vain As my heart stayed true, and steered me back So, my beloved, look into the truth you feel inside your heart Within is our true love, shining still And never look to the glowing darkness before your eyes Projected on all you see, and surrounding you in your slumber Remember the electricity we made the first time you took my hand in yours That hand, that sensation, is me Don't be fooled as they warm your hand in a firm grip And say that grasp is mine You know my touch, you know my love Don't look for demonstrations of me But feel for what you know Remember, my true love Love is blind.

Don't Look
A every stumble, thoughts of you catch me every time But at each trip, they poison my daydreams with long gone memories. Hauntingly, they mimick my train of thought I apologize every time Those thoughts are not my own, my love I am vulnerable against their every attack Punishment for my choice not to join, And not to fight The ability to love, they lack And their bitterness enhances in the presence of my love for you So, my love, do not believe their jealous manipulation Which takes more form each time I call to you I swore to you my love I gave myself to you Look within me, the me, that I gave to you Don't watch the movements of my mind, as it was never truly mine Turn away from their evil illustrations Exhibited to invoke doubt and suspicion Look into your heart, my love, Feel the miracle we created together They did the same to me my love Attacking all senses with visions of you and disguised mistresses In the end it was all in vain As my heart stayed true, and steered me back So, my beloved, look into the truth you feel inside your heart Within is our true love, shining still And never look to the glowing darkness before your eyes Projected on all you see, and surrounding you in your slumber Remember the electricity we made the first time you took my hand in yours That hand, that sensation, is me Don't be fooled as they warm your hand in a firm grip And say that grasp is mine You know my touch, you know my love Don't look for demonstrations of me But feel for what you know Remember, my true love Love is blind.
