We’ll stare into each other’s eyes
A seabed of imaginations
Devoid of others prophesied
Delving in to lustful sensations
A world where sadness dies
A moment we two have created.
A world no one else can find.
I wake to realize we haven’t dated.
Dreams are lucid, taunting memories
That’ve yet to happen
It’s up to me to see it through
Hardly knowing each other
I can see that I’m see through to you
I knew
But I still kept on trying to find the light at the end of the tunnel
Bright, bright, oh bright, gentle and subtle.
Shadows that want me to themselves
I’ll reject them until I’ve made my bed in the coffin.
With you, with you, is all I ever I want to be
Signs of dismay
The scorpion’s rebirth
The tunnel a labyrinth, a cave
My chest is swelling, I’m hurt.
Confessions at the lowest rate
“I like you”, I said, you said,
“It’s not me, it’s you.”
I still kept on trying, and trying, to find the light
At the end of the tunnel
No more, that’s it, I’ve tried.
I can’t put up with the fight.
Dimmer, and dimmer, darkness
Has suffocated my only light
Embrace them, and take them
Snug in the bed of my own coffin.
