the world is dark
lay your troubles on me
I'll take them, I promise
no reason to be
so afraid to embark
on a journey so fragile
just listen to me breathe
and I'll nod as you speak
in vulnerable tones
feeling like you've lost
something I can replace.

come to understand
you hold my happiness in your hand
for the rest of my life
eyes locked on a dream
feed me hope, overflow
and I'll give you a break
always making it known
that I'm your buffer for pain
look at me crazy,
I've seen it before
all the fears and dark fantasies
scattered on tile floors

the rhythm of your breath
keeps me awake
I slip into dependency
so save me from your tired temptations
apart however long,
I'll still sing your songs
meet with me in the night
a sweet tangerine
a daydream less understood
by the people who killed us.
they killed our last song

to me, hear me out,
your radiant eyes
holding love like a light
gazing strong into mine
provide a sensible lover,
too kind not to love
sinking too deep to take lightly
we'll fall into forever-care
delusion to them, but
euphoria to you, and a miracle to me.
