Quench

Trust me when I say, That all of this will wash away. That the drought of this town, Will be swept away with the lift of the crown. A crown of thorn, so sacrilegious, The darkness of you is charming and vicious. I am swept away with the unbelievers, The liars, the cheats, the broken deceivers. But every one of them I love the same, Because they are the ones who have called my name. Swept away, oh I am swept away, Talk me into the dark, kiss me into the day. White stained black, a surprising mix, I am not the one they wanted to fix. I am not the one he wanted to love, I am not one who is good enough to be above. Swept away, please sweep me away, I don’t want to stand in the light of day. The light of day that burns my eyes, The colored blue that hides my lies.
