I spend every day blocking out your light,
You are gone; you are faded; you have gone away...

So I spend my nights alone, drinking from the same cup
A cigarette in my mouth, trying to organise my thoughts.

Love. I was told it was a mystery
That it was eternal, sacred
That with the right love, you could be fulfilled:

Why was it all a lie?
Why have you gone away...?

It's like this, night after night;
The same piano keys. The same song
A life in refrain;
I can't move on. I can't fight this shelter, my grave.

I ask you now, dark angel
Look at me with mercy
Remember my name...
The words I once spoke to you in hushed whispers, genuine, unhindered by the lack of love, unbothered by lust, sworn in trust:

I promised myself to you at first sight,
We were bound, now broken, left to rot.
But it needn't be this way:
Do you remember my voice? Resurrection...
Have I not already lifted you out of your grave?
Have I not filled you with my light and sheltered you from dismay?
You are my angel, black or white
I bleed for you // no matter the cause, each and every day
To me, it doesn't matter if you fail
It does not matter how many pieces chip and fade
You are the air that I breathe; and I don't mean to use the age-old cliché,
But to me you are light, and life, and fire
So caress my soul. Shelter me in your dark energy,
I will myself to you. I give myself to you. I slit my throat to beg a rest,
From the demon of not living without you
Your only mistake is denial, of not telling me it's over
Shackled, I can't get free. I beg a whisper from thee...
