The mask comes off
To my burning skin...

Scrape away the dead flesh
To reveal a skin lovely and new...

I crumpled into your arms
Like the pages of a burning book...

Fading past laughs in black
Grazing chains with raw fingers...

If i swallowed these pills
Would they really end my tears...

Cry your pretty eyes out
Let my bones soak up your tears...

Thy love is running course
Its rapids become too strong...

It's hard to be thrusted into light
When you're predisposed to dark...

I love you dearly darling
Your touch, your lips, your kiss...

However you made me feel today
I wish to remember tomorrow...

You played me for a fool
But you never knew the game...

With each word you breathe
Becomes a gossamer thread...
