Put my mind back on repeat.
And make my heart skip one more beat.
Give me back my secret life
I’ll take your love if you’ll keep my knife.
Hold me close just one more hour
The bleating lambs keep getting louder.
The past is screaming in my ears
Regrets unfolding all my fears
The butterflies don’t miss a beat
My blood on fire amidst the heat.
Your pretty words just floating by…
Reach out and pick them from the sky.
Hold them close and hold them dear.
Cradle them in the depths of fear.
The darkness slowly creeping back
The world is growing shades of black.
Screams awaken an earth of gray.
Agony only a pitch away.
Whisper softly as I sleep
And capture dreams for me to keep.
You love me only in the dead of night
We turn to dust in the heat of light.
Skeletons venture out to play
They creep from closets and lead the way
Return to me the love we shared.
When i never knew how much i cared.
My body remains an empty shell.
A skin that covered a living hell.
I used to bleed when you came around
But now I simply hit the ground.
Memories are drugs I’ve learned to resist
And dear love, I’m sorry that secret exists.
Keep me hoping and hold me high
The best of me is not a lie.
Give me back our careless past
The time I swear, I’ll treat like glass
Please put my life back on rewind
And fast forward through my hateful lines.
This monster trapped inside of me
Is lunging out in ecstasy.
A parasite that feeds on fear
And the scent is stronger when you are near.
I crumble when I feel regret
And I can only pray that you’ll forget
So I can feel you kiss my lips
Place your hands on rhythmic hips
Though I should be quarantined
And the best of me has not been seen
Pull me closer if you dare
And save me from this love affair.
I want the days that we were dense
And you were all that could make sense
I want the promises we couldn’t keep
The words I sewed, are what I reap
Forgive me all of my mistakes
I’ll save you from my life of hate.
Erase the past from your whole mind.
Except the knowledge that you were mine.
I’ll take back my broken life
Take back your love; I want my knife.
