walk through the biting night
red sky's ripping up my flesh
like a love note
from an ex boyfriend

pull myself to your house
complete with red shutters and a black door
glimmering in the deadly moonlight
told me to keep out
but i couldn't just let you go

let my bloody knuckles collide with the stone of the door
at times like these i only wish i knew how to pray

seems like hours before you let the door open
it was really days
your scarred face is coated with a mask
i'd love to tear the mask away
see just what you are
i'll love you no matter what
just believe me

your spiteful and angry eyes
seem to devour my own nervous ones
i wish i could stand my ground
i've stood outside in the cold to long
to retreat back to my own safe quarters
it doesn't matter if i'm safe for not
i just want to be near you.

bite my trembling lip so hard that it cries blood
at times like these i only wish i knew how to pray

i reach out my hand
"can i come in?"
you don't want me to, and yet you do
i can see it in your eyes
just because you wish
that i can't see threads of you
from underneath your not-so-finely woven veil
doesn't make it true

let me in though
your fear is growing
you've made me so proud
the cold look from your eyes can't pierce as well as it used to
your sword has gotten dull
i only hope that you don't stray in search of a stone

my heart swells so much that my ribs my crack
at times like these i only wish i knew how to pray

don't offer me a drink
because you're aware that i don't
family backgrounds have given me issues
i'd love it if you were there to help me cope
i'd love if it you were there
period.

can't contol these feelings
they are their own beings
let them fly as they will
sharply up
their wings can scare your heart
but then turn around
their swings can gently stroke
don't try to control them

you're trying harder to stay at arm lengths
at times like these i only wish i knew how to pray

swear on a familiar stranger's grave
that i mean you no harm

if you don't want me to be close
i won't
if that makes you happy
but i can't help thinking
that that's not what you want

take a step closer
hands on hips
my nervous air crashes chaotically into your own
a brilliant display of fireworks
let the world crash down
and be here with me
i'm now correct in thinking that you feel the same

your lips caress my own
at times like these i'm glad that i remembered how to pray



around the can i come in part, uh, i dont know whats up with that, i dont
think quotation marks are up to speed. *shrug*
