1. Apostate
You used to spread your wings only when no one was looking,
and when you finally trusted me enough to reveal them I slowly ripped them off.
What have I done?
Who now will carry me to heaven when this life is over?
Eternally, I am unforgiven.
We've come to love without faith.
But I am only human, and so you have come to be.
What will you do that you're one of us?
Savage, and selfish with love.
Always fighting to not be alone.
Just remember I'm on your side, fighting to attain the same goals.
Yet we face each other as enemies to conquer.
2. Picture: Start
Beautiful gray masks the sky was the rain falls down.
And I wish that I could assure you of comfort and content, but I'm still so far away.
We have to take life as it comes, angel, so fast and bittersweet.
And the only thing that I know for sure is we are not like them.
We've taken our feet off the ground and cleared the fog from our eyes.
And we are not waiting for tomorrow to shine like the stars tonight.
And no matter what it's you've chosen to be, and you will always be lovely in your light.
I watch memories in my head like a movie on a dirty screen, and your lips seem so far away.
Only your warmth can thaw this frozen heart and make it swell with life again.
3. Give Up
I use the rags of betrayal and the fuel of desperation to light a fire.
This temper is lost upon me, though it is sure to find you momentarily.
I cannot afford to spend emotions on you, for I owe you nothing.
My fury is unbreakable.
I feel only the pain of anger.
Still my hungry fists crave the taste of your flesh.
Too bad your bitter bones are unsavoury.
Once you wake this fire, there is no way to hush it back to sleep.
These hands break upon you like waves of smoke.
It's so difficult to keep these fantasies inside my head.
For when I dream of blood, it is so real, it seems to spill upon the floor.
