Still Waiting

Open your shiney eyes
to the silent night.
These torn wings of mine
erase away the guilt.

Lost in the blood
of your crimson eyes,
I can't see my escape.

These violet flames
that you throw at me
aren't the flames
I grew up with.
These flames are the ones
that chased me away.

Revealing myself to you
with black wings unseen,
you don't know what
you got yourself into.

I can't trust myself anymore
for fear you'll be chased away.
Why can't you just come back
with the face I left you with?

This freight train
running through my mind
reminds me of danger
in the future,
saving me from the fire
that took away my life.

In the darkness of your eyes,
I see forbidden happiness.
It reminds me
of a boy long forgotten.

Just breathe.
I know you can't
handle the truth yet.
Just breath.
Tell me the story of your life.
Just breathe, just breathe, just breathe!

I cannot believe my eyes.
Assassin's masked enemy.
I can't believe my eyes.
Teardrops stained the color
of blood.

Open your shiney eyes
to the silent night.
These gossamer wings
will protect you.
