I dare

"Do you dare touch my scorned face?"
- A Blessing in Tragedy


I remember how your eyelashes curl
How could I forget the palm of your hands?
Or the lines around your mouth as you smile?
When you've brought back the moon
And the fire in my hair

Darling...
Save the facade for the outside
Even the best of hereos fall and cry
Don't be fooled by my silence
And lay here inside with me
inside of me, safe with me

I see the man underneath it all
The blankets, the screams
And the blood that you wear
doesn't scare me as much anymore

I'll be the woman who dares
to stay forever this time
If you let me

I'm no saviour
But I'll be there

I'll be there
Now will you let me?

No goodbyes this time

My Seashell

"My life is meaningless."



They smell the same,look the same.
Forgettable, replaceable,collectible.

Yes, I know!

But he's not another seashell on the seashore.
Unexplainable, wonderful, rough on the outside.

Mine to carry home, mine to hold.
I'll tell my mother what I've found.

He's not another seashell on the seashore.
I'll show him how I've fallen so deeply in love.

His heart against mine

Moments of tenderness you do not know.
Oh, I taste them in a single kiss.

Moments of calm you do not know.
Oh, I feel them in his bleeding arms.

Moments of sanity you do not know.
Oh, I see them in his star-shaped eyes.

Moments of faith you do not know,
Oh, I feel them in his lonely heart.

His heart against mine.

Moments you do not know.
Oh, I'll die knowing I've loved,
for the very first time,
for the very last time.

Nightmare in disguise

You love me
Forever you say
I blossom
And you make me

You love me
Forever you say
I break
And you take me

Forever you say
Forever until I fall
Forever until I’m ugly
Forever until I’m wrong

What’s left of me now that you have my heart in your fist?

I thought I found a dream in you my dear
You’re just another nightmare in disguise

What’s forever?
A countdown to the day
That I’m no longer perfect
In your eyes


Don’t promise what you don’t know

Falling off the swing

I thought I lost my will,
‘till I got on that swing.

I swing and remember.

The rusted chains caress my tender skin.
There’s no screaming,there’s singing again.

They told me the gates are closing.
Now it’s time to make my way home.

I leave and remember.

It’s time to order a deep dish pizza.
I’m sat here in my chair, ready to fall.

No swinging, no caressing, no singing.
Just the sound of my body plummeting.

I've never felt so alone,
with the people in my head.

I thought I was alive,
'till I fell off that swing.
