betrayal unspoken
commitment untrue
i'm dying here, lonely
but wishing for you
searching for light
in this darkened town
feeling so crowded
yet no one's around
why have you left me
so cold and alone
dying in burden
and cut to the bone
but now as i watch you
i see your dark grin
your standing there, waiting
caressing my sins
you know every secret
every story untold
your god, unfeeling
and hands, so cold
i see in your eyes
the story's close end
we all fall together
yet die without friends
for there's never a healing
to mend this heartbreak
and now, my dark stranger
this soul you can take
take to the heavens
or maybe a hell
whether flame or fancy
time will soon tell
hurry your errand
this soul, to pull free
yet try as you may
you'll never catch me

wonder what you're thinking
and how you truly feel
sinking in this sadness
and the love i steal
maybe i'm not right
but could i be so wrong?
i feel so scared and weak
for you, i should be strong
every moment passes by
feeding all this sorrow
can i hold to this love
and see you through tomorrow?

sometimes i smile, everyday
but deep inside i'm lost
i want to keep you through it all
but what will be the cost?
am i fair to let you hurt
for reasons so uncertain
can i live, or will i die
when they close life's curtain?
you are my angel, my very soul
and with your love, i shine
but still i'm scared, i'm cold, alone
yet without love, i am blind
i sink so slowly, so full of questions
which float around my mind
seeking, searching, crying, hurting
but i hope its you, i find
you keep me safe, and sweetly happy
within your arms i lay
and with one word, you turn my soul
from deepened black to silver grey....
