I've seen you here before,
The perfect stranger,
'I just need something more,'
I said in anger,
I know you'd stand by me,
If I told you I was incomplete,
Let me look into your deep blue eyes,
Until I say goodbye,

Take my hand and cross the line,

Take a leap of faith, my darling,
Close your eyes and feel the air,
Hear the depths of the chasm calling,
Calling you deeper into despair,

A loosening grip on reality,
You hold the poisoned fruit,
The human heart is duality,
A useless, failed pursuit,
Take a bite of the rotten apple,
Christen yourself into battle,
Give the order to fade away,
End the madness that is today,

Take my hand and cross the line,

Take a leap of faith, my darling,
Close your eyes and feel the air,
Hear the depths of the chasm calling,
Calling you deeper into despair,
The darkness holds you under,
You're starting to disappear,
Into the chasm, as you wonder,
'Does he see my freezing tears?'
