Its the way my arms tangle in your hair
and your lips graze mine
that gives me hope and a semblance of peace
on this whole earth I've yet come to find
someone so whole, yet broken enough to understand
the tears that shine and graze my cheeks
the weakness in my touch, my hand.
when all in the world turns black.
Ive come to worry about little things
like when you're smile doesn't reach your eyes
i worry about the screams...i can hear inside
and i wonder when you gave up...and why
when i was here all along
always in your arms
leading the way is easy
when you don't know who to trust
but it took all my will to get you here
against everything that screamed in protest
to the beginning of us
never did i keep to honesty
but I've continued to hold my word true
that never again will i be alone
so long as i have you
in the arms that never cease to drop me
and the chains ill never break
i wish only for the touch that wills me to stay awake
when all the world is ending and my face is in the dirt
I'll fall like autumns leaves, too soft for it to hurt.
