Oh bitter blade of deadly dreams
Fool am I to allow you to slice at my heart once again.
In your eyes I can see the pain
Of a thousand knives
Wreathed in time's cloudy depths
Your grief has no relief
Tearing forever into your soul
Siren of remembrance and sorrow
I could save you
I could look deep into your bitter heart and free your laughter
But your cruelty will not lend you wings
And as I lay my life at your feet
You see me not
You cannot hear my plea, forgive me
That I ever dared love a man as hollow as you
Do you think that your mask is fitting?
That no one can see the shadow that haunts your footsteps
Of who you used to be
Do you think it your fate alone to bear the anguish of the world
Why do you drown yourself in your guilt
When you could so easily cling to me?
I would bring you a smile
If you could bear to look through your tired eyes
And realise that everything you need is everything you despise.
It hurts me to see the anger destroy your face
Whenever you catch glimpse of me
Why do you deny the redemption that I breathe?
Don't you understand my reasons?
I stay because I have nothing left; I have nothing more to live for
Hope is all that keeps me from fading
As blame is all that keeps you from bliss
Yet still you use your power to break me down
If you cannot see now, then perhaps you never will
So why do I still pretend?
Why do I bear this slow death with the patience of a martyr?
For every step you take into the light I am drawn twice as far into you web of darkness
And you laugh, truly you cannot see
That everything I do, I do for you
And its killing me.
