If a silence is broken
Maybe then you’ll hear my screams
Echoing blankly from your canvas
Bouncing back, right back at me
If you choose to let me colour you
If you choose to let me in
I’ll break down these hard edges
And warm your soft, cold skin
And now I’m painting wildly
Dark pictures in my head
They stop, stop me from dreaming
And I am awake with you in my head
Would all of your surroundings, collapse and crush your world?
Do you really think that lowly of yourself and what you’re worth?
To me you seem so wary, as scared as I have been
For love has hurt you blindly, and you don’t want to let them in
Love, I have been that wary, but regret none of my sins
To take life as it comes to you, to let it all get under your skin
Now I am thinking blindly, and all this darkness in my head
Won’t stop me from believing, that you want me instead
For I will be the darkness, a shadow in your mind,
An ever burning question, a small spark that burns so bright
I’ll keep these fires burning, I’ll wait for you and your mind
To make your final choice love, I’ll wait all through these nights
I’ll keep the memories burning, I’ll savour what we had then
I’ll wait in dark elation, I know you want this skin
And we burn, like all the others
But ours is a different light
We make an illustrious union
Our bodies in the night
I have kept this burning, and you play these games so well
I long for your bright eyes baby, to break this cursed spell
That day will come with time now, and I can wait until then
Just know that while you’re thinking, I am a broken man
That hopes you’ll make him whole soon, as two parts unite as one
And in our final union, we shall ignite and outshine the sun.
