Every word that falls from my lips falls on deaf ears and I suffocate Now righteousness cast aside thrown to the ground I close my eyes and I see you there See you there But my eyes deceive me Every other sense says I'm alone Now waking hours melt to sleepiness nights And all fear has left me If I could learn from my past I'd possess the strength to walk away Let your sweet taste fall from my lips But it resonates And now I hold this so dear To let it fade would tear me apart If I now left this all behind Simply turned and walked away Would the dawns light fall upon my face To end this tragedy Still deep in the long black Behind the shimmering blue I'd swear that I have seen The last soul that I care to So this is passion and it crawls upon my skin And it sinks into my bones and I am whole again And I feel it filling me And I pray it will never end Now it burns within my veins And I am writhing in ecstasy
