Two Stories That Aren't One

Dance to the song of impurities
(spill your blood under scrutiny)
pass on but refuse an afterlife
(you aren't truly dead if you can hold a knife)
don't believe the shapes around you
(there's a second face deep within you)
devil and demon
or an angelic martyr
choose your destruction
and be lost in history
know the ones closest
are the ones who will pay
(so be alone and hurt no one)
isn't that what you said?
breathe with the lungs
of someone with cancer
see through the eyes
of a child lay blind
touch with the hands
wearing an arthritis band
tell me do you
(yet know hell?)
I danced there
I sang there
I loved there
(I hate it here so please)
I cried there
I played there
(I smiled there so please)
I killed there
I shaved there
my first time do you believe?
in hell I grew up
(come down and join me)
a thousand degrees
is just the beginning
(losing all those you love
is second only to the ending)
so never stop loving
so never give in
never play the part
of an angel that pretends
(it's a devil in the end)
and where you sleep
is just a cage
your lost
aren't you afraid?
don't blink you'll miss it
(that shadow just moved)
come on be frightened
what have you left to lose?
so stress out and bleed
(straight out of your mouth)
hand on the hilt
(scabbard is pounding)
don't try to hide
(just stand and fight)
you have an angels eyes
(you fight like a demon)
Be true and strong
(what do you have to believe in?)
hope falters
(before love lies)
you fall sometimes
(in the moment you die)
but don't forget
(see the truth)
to see the world
(through your lovers eyes)
can you sing for me?
(please I need your voice)
can you hold me?
(I miss your arms around me)
will you kiss me?
(I may not be here long)
Do you love me?
(is darkness coming to take me?)
Would you hate me?
(if I died without you there?)
Do you want to see?
(my life drains from my eyes)
I'm paralyzed by your eyes
(it's your fault that I'm alive)
