Of Hearts That Hearts Go Cold

by Serina the Squid   Aug 23, 2007


Like eyes among this empty sky
From tip to toe you find your way
So walk, don't run, don't run away

Like icy petals on the ground
Life's silhouette will stand before you
Dancing, twisting, can't ignore you

Come into the darkness
Empty out the light
For all that life can ever be
is lost inside this night

Come away, escape from here
Take my hand, trust me, dear

We'll find solitude
We'll find love
If we never find trust
Then it never was

Walk with narrow footsteps
The ground here is eroding
The sky here is exploding

And this story's quite the epic
To touch your heart and sting your nose
Look, come look, there is sorrow in this prose

Life is but a tinker toy
and all you need is love
So follow me, follow me
I'll take you, little dove

Be wary of this forest
The ground is not so green
But smile in that sunshine
Forever feel its sheen
For the moon will fall upon you
and all will lose its joy
upon a twisted lullaby
all you can think of is that boy...

So come into this river
Sweep away your pain
Let the waves just take you
And steal your heart again

You'll never dance in meadows
whose grass is green and tall
for now, girl, you are seeping
into waters bleak and leaking
and devouring your body
ignoring your last call
the river takes your soul, girl,
and you never danced at all.
