fearfully calling you mine, as long as you wish to be

racing so fast, i'm forgetting to breathe

tripping over gasps and skipping over beats

tell my heart to stop, i plead and plead

this insane love is making my heart bleed

 

thoughts swarming in and out of my head

crashing with might and a kicking, brute force

the words on my tongue prove such a weight

is this free will, destiny, or some kind of sick fate?

 

drag me through your piercing thorns

drop thick mud into my glowing veins

trade this situation for a new one. no, that won't do

i'm deathly afraid to say, i really love you

 

dumping past complexities into my lap

and i now jointly receive them as my own

whimpering, as i fall more and more tame

bruised, bent, and beaten when i hear your name

 

i'm sympathetic to your abandoned ones

i too, am beginning to feel the permanent loss

i'll clench to you, as long as you watch after me

fearfully calling you mine, as long as you wish to be
