the relics of my long dead past
a black rose in constant bloom
no tears for my misfortune
this shadow
heart noone intrudes
…and ive lived in my own way
these words ive lived to tell
when you knew you couldnt save me
to open arms or death you gave me

if my words open your eyes
would that make this justified
ive been left behind

so why do we seek our tortures
blind words of noble men
this opaque heart i curse
ive come so far now
the past ive left behind
these years of anguish left me hollow

you have crowned yourself a queen
yet a pawn that you have made
i choke in the blackened waters
amidst the waves
alive we’ll burn

These embers turn to flames of yearning
I walked behind for too long
I can’t stop the bleeding
These open wounds you left aren’t healing
How the days just burn away
For you, I wished for something better

Cover my mouth and take my breath away
You killed the life inside of me
You walked away and left me to crawl
These changes in your heart deserving
nothing more than to say you were right

Cover my mouth and take my breath away
You killed the life inside of me
You walked away and left me to crawl
Open your wrists
I’ll let you bleed on me
Don’t live another day
You walked away and left me to crawl

These open wounds aren’t healing
Nothing is forever

..And when I dream of the light in your eyes
I still reach for you
Into the night

Upon my crimson thorns
A king in my own mind
Encase my dying heart
These wall built far too high

No more my words shall be taken for granted by you
Your vanity
My failure
The silence burned us through

This one last flame I wish to burn
The day that left us dead
Time’s carved my bitter soul
That you don’t understand

Within the waves she looks as I recall
Naked and cold
Only one last flame

Now when I cast my eyes to open water
Her image will appear
A vision of beauty broken
Her words forever spoken
“How could you leave me here”?

I’ve been lost in endless seas
My heart died long ago
I curse my failures as I fall from you
This candle’s burning one last flame
The darkness covers all
With a dying breath I speak your name
Alone among the fall

For all the promises I broke to you
I can’t collect the pieces
…and I don’t want you to see me again
I could dream you never left before

Your next to me but far away
In the crossing of these paths of sorrow
…and I’m a little less than broken

This time will be forever (I’m falling down)
This time we’ll be together
My love for you cannot die
Our wounds will bleed together (I’m falling down)
This time we’ll be together
My love for you cannot die

So won’t you write me letters
On your tattered dreams
I’d catch every tear that you ever shed for me
I’m dying
Trapped inside a moment

Don’t turn away
Don’t say your last goodbyes
I bled for you
You know I tried
When you’re rid of me
What will you look back and say?
That your wasted time
You can’t get back and try
Left too numb to cry
And now the skies have blackened

This cross I bear for you

And now I’m dying again
By flames of my obsession
I won’t let you go
If I could clip off your wings
Spit out the bitter poison
Silence will leave you cold

Hold on to this misery
When it’s all that you’ve known

I hold on in the wake of your absence
In my heart I can’t let go
