face

I want to carve my name into your face
And watch you bleed for me
I want to see you breach this space
And see what there is to see
I want to stand right where I am and see this all go by
I want to stand alone and live for once but first I want to die

I want to see the dreams burn
The world turn
And everything go on
Without me
I want to see the nightmares blur
And see what would occur
If I was suddenly gone

I want to carve these words into your skin
And see what lies within
I want to see the silence stretched tight between us
until I hear it ring

No matter what I say
It feels like I've already lost
Like you're no longer here
And I'm silent with your ghost
Smile for a while for me
Before you relocate to memory
And relegate me into the silence of the dark
Where you keep things you don't want to see
I want to carve my name into your skin
So you won't forget me again

And your face
Screams at me in the silence
And this place feels empty without you
And my words seem lost and out of place
When I am not beside you
But I'm not going to save you
And I'm not going to hide you
Or myself
And what think
Again
