Developing Regret

The light exposes your eyes
As everything else, they turn black
If you could get joy from your pain
You'd be so miserable with me

Your face still appears to me
Through the chemicals washing over you
You're art and you're my pain
You're ruined and it looks perfect

Lying still where no one sees you
Soon you'll realize you're forever
It's a masterpiece and it's my secret
Reminding me of what I have left

They can't see behind the surface
But there's something incredible there
A shattered heart pumping red tears
A broken child and a faltered man

We could live in this forever
Our state of denial and false regret
The scent of pain is in the air
And I'm developing a regret just for you

~~Yes, another song...~~
