Loneliness, it hides under my bed,
Loneliness, it costs so much,
I remember, all the pain that I've caused,
Now I have to pay up.

Losing myself in the bottom of my glass,
Reaching out my hand to any figure walking past,
Praying in the darkness on a night filled with terror
for an angel like you to save me from myself.

I turn to comfort in the smoke I exhale.
Try not to panic when I'm feeling this way.
I see the light but you're well out of reach.
I try to surface but the waters too deep.

I don't know where to begin,
Your eyes show me what I am missing,
They're deep, dark, mysterious
And I must be delirious,
If I think I've got a shot at this

I try too hard, and you cower away
I try not to care, but you're stuck in my brain
I try to play it cool, but you're hotter than I can handle

You're keeping secrets under your pillow,
They slither through the gaps in the duck feathers,
Until they reach the cotton barrier,
Trying to claw out at your head,
Ever wondered why you get those migraines?

You've tricked yourself into wearing a halo,
Crocodile tears with an alligators grin,
As fake as the make-up you wear,
A smile and a twirl,
Is that all you think it takes to fool a crowd?

You're not an angel, you can barely fly,
You may see clouds, but your feet are on the ground,
It's only your head that's where you think you are,
Your wings are sown on, and the stitches are weak,
How many have you tricked in total?

You think you've won but I can see the devil in your eyes.
A lingering dark stare, puffy and blood shot,
Claws at the ready, tearing into flesh that knows you well,
A war raging on your tongue when you've been found out,
You think I'm docile to every thought you have?

You seem to forget.

In saying goodbye, nothing dies.
Memories still fly, a swarm of warm butterflies.
Skin and bones decay, but memories remain.
I'd trade an open casket for an open mind.

We must move on, but in moving on, we must never be tempted to forget.
Our memories, actions, words have made us who we are today.

I've got no inspiration, 'cause you've taken it all
Can't put pen to paper, 'cause I've written it all
And my misbehaviour, has caused me too fall

Deeper down the hole you left,
When I put you on the shelf.

I actually care for you, more than I care for myself.
Whatever the cost, even if I lose out, I want you to be your happiest.

You deserve the sun, the moon and all of the stars.
If I'm not the one to give you those things, then that's where I stand.

When tears fall from your cheeks, they also fall from mine.
And when those blue crystal eyes shine, they make me smile.

I actually care for you, more than I care for myself.
