Dangerous confusion threatens to break the last seam
I'm floating in limbo,
desperate to get out of this dream.
In the blink of an eye you've corroded my mind
Invading my soul;
a lover in disguise.

You've trespassed upon my land,
You've torn down my walls
And yet I offer you my hand
When I should let you fall.

I've been injected with poison
And adjusted to its bitter taste
This heart that once was frozen
Has melted with quick haste

If I leave my throne,
If I let you win
Will you claim my possessions
And leave me drowning in my sins?

Will you trample over my chest,
Will you drown my lungs?
Will you laugh at this mess


                                                                  Oh lord, what have I done.

I have let you in
I have let you win
All that I feared,
Is coming to life.

Standing, I watch my ship sink
And I realize,
We were always at the brink
And I ripped the seam
when I let my heart fall
Now I stand in the r
                                    u i  
                                           ns,
Rebuilding my walls.
