I see these demons with my eyes,
Hear the demons in my mind
And I'm left wondering if true comfort
Could ever leave the skies
The only angels I ever knew,
Existed in my world
Fated to dance with a devils hand,
Tumble, twist, spin and twirl
There is one that's rescued me,
From my path she set me free
And it would be a crime to commit
The acceptance of defeat
The chains of her love,
Fit around me like a hug
When she hasn't seen me in a while,
I'm the crow and she's the dove
Two opposites who seem the same
Species at least with neither tamed
Unless we're in each others arms
Such memories are pictures framed
Her love is strong where I am not,
I'm beaten down, blind and lost
The only light that guides me fair
Hell or heaven, fire or frost
It hurts to know that I'm infected
Malicious mind, I keep rejected
While virus-like it spreads in me
She's safe right here, she's now protected
Heart may stumble, words may fumble
The world could crash and burn and crumble
But as long as my love lives by my failing heart
For her, I'd forever tumble

I see these demons with my eyes,
Hear the demons in my mind
And I'm left wondering if true comfort
Could ever leave the skies
The only angels I ever knew,
Existed in my world
Fated to dance with a devils hand,
Tumble, twist, spin and twirl
There is one that's rescued me,
From my path she set me free
And it would be a crime to commit
The acceptance of defeat
The chains of her love,
Fit around me like a hug
When she hasn't seen me in a while,

Two opposites who seem the same
Species at least with neither tamed
Unless we're in each others arms

Her love is strong where I am not,

The only light that guides me fair

While virus-like it spreads in me
She's safe right here, she's now protected
Heart may stumble, words may fumble
The world could crash and burn and crumble
But as long as my love lives by my failing heart
For her, I'd forever tumble
