We’d never expect
The ones we gave our heart to
To become lost dreams
We’d never expect
The ones we gave our heart to
To become lost dreams
I can still see you
In my dreams of candy bliss
Dear lover of mine
I’m never wrong about the things I obsess over endlessly
Toss my whiskey at the screen
Alarms go off for me to wake up
But this isn’t a dream
In this darkest night
A sadistic world with fiery caves
Banshees scorching the clouds
Reptiles with gargantuan appetites
In this rapturous plight
Our love will conquer everything
Rescued you from a hell
Far from home
Rescued you from a deep red sea
Adrift in fear
Stripped cold
Stranded alone
But, we shalt not drown
I feel the heat rise underneath
As we escape
Burning bridges, and slices of death
An inferno flaming beneath
Searing bones chest deep
Our magic will wake the dead
An eruption from a vicious sleep
Hold me tight
Squeeze me till my last breath
Uplifts you out of this evil pit
Dive into my tiger’s eye
Kiss me hard for this last time
Hard till you taste my soul
Imprison me within your heart
Until we reunite on the other side
I’ll stay awhile if you can show
That you can love me
Lock the door behind
Let me see
If you can give me what I need
I can’t wait
To feel the pressure build
I can’t wait
For time to stop still
Allow the lights to dim
I’ll close my eyes
And let you feel
Where ever you like
Have a grave feeling I just can’t shake
A dark paranoia, even Jack couldn’t
Help me binge away.
Shadowy figures still appear
On your side of the bed
Whispering, taunting, praising
Above your head.
I’ve witnessed fearfully as you sleep
Peacefully in harm’s way.
Something is haunting you.
Grimace across its face.
Burnt rubber bleeds through the air.
Too panicked to move.
Can’t remember what to say.
Frozen still. Caught in a chilling stare.
Pleading for the light of day.
Good morning, I’m thankful…
I look at you from across the table.
Enjoying your corn cakes and maple.
I force out a smile, exhausted and baggy eyed.
Whisper I love you, and hope we’ll survive the next night.
