I have nothing left to give.
Not even a smile, false laughter rejoicing.
I've nothing solid to grasp.
When all that I know is gone, I'll take me away from me.
I will hide away in the sobbing silence of my soul.
In agony and desperation, life as rain falling forebodingly.
In the only place that I know.
These streets paved in fools gold are drenched in the blood of the innocent.
Every breath feels like a sore burst open.
Every small wisp of air just cooling enough to sting.
I have no more curses to scream up and away.
With nothing real enough to keep me, I've no concrete reason to stay.
Recently caught happiness seems cruelly superficial.
Love is insanity, purely pain.

Berate me or hate me, just please wait for me.
I'll be there far sooner than you know, you are my remedy.
The bandage for my cracking, breaking soul.
I will keep me here for more than an eternal moments notice.
When I do depart I'll not be back any time soon.
'Lest the milk white moon bring unwanted memories of you.
So just silence me sweetly before I ruin us, I am ruinous.
You are the only place that I want to be.

I am ruinous, our love is dangerous.
Pray give me no heartache though.
You are the only place that I want to see.
Please take me now, I just cant stand to keep me any longer.
