Nov 2011
And now all these faces are aligning
To present their smiles to me
Her bloodshot eyes were there to greet mine and,
here we stand on the edge of this city
I watched as the feeling made way through her cold fingers
They were colder than my heart, If you could imagine
She waited all night, for the gift that he would bring her
But he'll never show, and my love is wide open
For this ghost in the shell has a voice too
I would die just to reach out and touch her
But her skin, It glows blue
My body, Oh how it burns for her love
In this circle of hell
There is but one angel among all these demons
She lives right next door in that room in my head
Oh, the pain it stings my lungs
Smothers my coughs
Blankets my cold
She saved my worthless soul
The way she obtained her goal
With such carelessness and joy
It burns me alive
Freezes my insides
One day I know she'll see
That she is my woman indeed
All the way from his hollow eyes
To the spot where the last ******* page lies
To present you with this gift and my name
Wait to open it, at the end of my game

And I swear. You will never love again
Oh, your starry eyes will never perceive a better man.
