We've watched the clouds cry hand in hand
An end to all things
An embrace to ride the rising sun
Momentary beauty all to brief
Raced the evening stars and all their glory
Loves conviction so transitory
Betrayal
And cup runneth over, its brim tainted with your deception.

My heart pounds rhythms that break my ribs
For a heart of love always forgives
But a mind of vengeance never forgets
Pick the scabs from my eyes
The colors so vibrant that I am blind
Shown beauty that never existed
Angels with no faces. Fuck wings
I've got arms to hold you
All of you
And i swear i'll never dream of flying again.

But who stole my optimism?
For the thieving hand will be cut
It's lies long side my heart
I suggest you wear thick gloves
1000 ghost for the not yet deceased
Next to them are visions of me
Locked away, yet I possess the key
I am the master of my own slavery
The truth is so poisonous
It's hatred disguised
Sometimes the most comfortable bed is made with virulent lies
I would drown you in uncertainty, choking on your tears
Your grasp transcending the distance
Your reflection is the face of what you fear.
