I ****** myself
But no pleasure was received
I ******* myself
Out of my own heart
I should have taken your hand
Followed you down into the cheesy tunnel of love
Should have ridden the gaudy swan with you
All the way down
Past the twinkling lights and into the dungeon
Where I lock up the parts of myself
That are afraid
That I protect
From people like you
People who care
People who love
You showed me truth
I hid from your light like a wraith
I don’t deserve you
But I would give anything
To have one more chance
Because with every road I have traveled
Thinking they would be more profitable than yours
I have become poorer
You were my El Dorado
I just didn’t see it at the time
And now it’s too late
And someone else has stolen the light
That, just for me, in your eyes used to shine
