The blindest struggle of them all
Will not render me helpless
Only when your kiss is fading
I will know the poison on your lips
A thousand years of imprisonment
Has brought me too much strife
You can drop me at the brink of hell
And I will still end up alive
Your shallow shimmers of insanity
Creep slowly into play
I can run into your tainted arms
And still feel my remorse today
Yet I know that the jaded wings
Of lies and laughter keep you tied
I could try to reach out and save you
Only to realize you have already died
I can still see sparks of hope
Imbedded deep within your velvet eyes
Don't try to convince me now
You can't win the golden prize
We can live inside your painted world
The dance was all pretend
And when you jump from the precipice
I will bring this to an end
We've been through too much to know better
Too old to live
Too young to die
So struggle up to where something has to give
Hide from my overpowering cries
We can exist in my fairy tale dreams
I promise life will shelter us
You won't hear my silent screams
