Pain For Me Pain For You

Flowing from my face Emotion seeking to escape
Silent rain of tears shall fall With a loss that grows so tall
Redraw eyes sinking into Silent cry forever be my sin
You kill me with your eyes You drown me in your arms
You melt me with your voice You crush me with your heart
& you stole me from hello
Slightly broken he may be Sanity he keeps with me
Stars above for us to see Oh I love it just him and me
Silently we flee the pain Forever in a photo frame
A promise to keep till dying breath My heart be what he so theft
For without him my head be cleft Welcome to my prison cell
It's my home away from hell Secluded in my darkest mind
There my demons never hide Playing with the matches in my eyes
Lighting fires to my surprise Wildfires fuelled by rage
Burning bright day by day
