Watch over me tonight
As I keep replaying the darkness in my mind
Hold my hands so tight, with all your might
I've made your mess mine

Carrying the weight of things unsaid
All that was poured into you
Was filling me, too
I felt the years of abuse fall through

To stay alive, I tell myself all kinds of lies
This frame holds the skin tight
It's a thin disguise
It is a mirror that keeps out the light

I'm blind and can't see my scars
But I'm tired of hiding in the dark
I want to hold you in my arms
Can you find me under the light of stars?

I'm so terrified, you won't heal me in time
A part of me that's poorly designed
I can't give you something that's real
And I can't trust you with my life

But when the light leaves my eyes
Your hands will be over mine
You'll kiss the guilt out of me
Seizing control over my body

I'm hung from this noose, so tired of this ruse
So, I make every excuse
To hide this bruise
From you

So, watch me crumble as I fall into you
So far that I've drowned into an endless void
Watch me stumble from heights
And so far I've fallen this time

I'm so terrified of this
Of vanishing further than
I've ever known
Into a place where I'm alone and facing the abyss

You've reached out a hand
You broke down my walls
I was tired of being alone, too
That I decided to run with you

But I'm not the one
To watch over you
As I wear out my thin mask
To the watcher of worlds, what do you ask?

I've bestowed my love and God already knows
I wanted to share a sliver of sky with her
I wanted her to close her eyes when time slows
To be the warmth for her when it snows

I'm so hurt by the icy words of the broken heart
You've seen where it snows
And where the blood runs clear and cold in the faded dark
I'm so tired of living without light, Death knows

Her knife is so deep inside my heart
When it burns with love, it twists and turns
When it yearns for ***, it thrills and swirls
As she takes my life under the cold blue stars

I see the sword moves
Within every crevice
And swerves with purpose
The knife moves with the words

I'm so tired of being wrong
But I carry your weight and I soldier on
To the watcher of the night
I promise there's beauty inside of you
