Please will you be my antidepressant
Numb my feelings
Keep the sadness at bay
Please will you stay

Please don't hurt me
I've been lost for so long
in a place with no sun
Please will you guide me home

Please don't go
When the flowers have wilted
And the summer grows cold
Please I need someone to hold

Please don't fall out of love with me

"Did you ever love me?
It's okay if it's a no
I've suffered a lot worse than lost words
It's just i have memories that are blurred
of a time when you were soft
and your words weren't slurred
but now the memories seem like a song
from a song bird
that has been left unheard
or stars that cowered in the dark night sky
So did you ever love me?
because i know i loved you"

He remained silent
turned his back
and i had my answer
the sky was starless after all
I remember running from you
when your eyes turned black with fury
and your tongue dripped poison with every word
and sometimes i feel like i'm still running

You remain in my shadows

The world is bare and colourless
The life has been drained from all of us
Now we are drunk on our soberness
As we run through old fields that are now battlegrounds

The morphine smiles aren't enough
Drunken promises hurt too much
So i'll pump ****** into my blood
These things hurt less than they should

I thought love was bruises and broken hearts
I was taught that pain was the point of it all
because if you aren't in pain
are you alive at all?

I thought i found a home in your heart
but it turns out it was only for rent
rent that i couldn't afford

Painted in suffering
Sculpted by regret
Our love was an art form
That we didn't appreciate

I've been thinking lately
about the life we never had
full of playground swings
and joyful things
and how all i wanted was that

I've been thinking lately
about the kids we never were
the kids i'll never have
the love we never gave
is the love we never had

I've been thinking lately
about my greatest fear
maybe its becoming you
maybe its being nowhere near

you were my forbidden fruit
and though i knew you were a sin
i just couldn't resist you
and if heaven never lets me in
i'll be okay knowing i had you

Art
She was like art in a museum;
so beautiful to look at,
but you could never get close enough to touch
too fragile...
