Resting among the parasites.
Swallowed beneath the earth.
Shining through as my aphrodite.
I can't reject your birth.

Quarantined your sacred tombstone.
I'm the only one allowed to show you around.
Most nights, I rest deep underground.
Mingling with ghouls known.

Fixated on your presence.
I am your menace.
You'll swear to a penance.
Not letting you speak a sentence.
I treasure your precedents.
You'll be my little blemish.
I'll forge you into a dazzling pendant.

I'll be there filing our repentance.
You'll become my defendant.
I'll decide our sentence;I'll keep our truth definite.
This is my arrogance.

You know me.
When I don't know myself.
You see me.
When I don't see myself.
You validate me.
Since I can't evaluate myself.

A sapphire beauty locked behind the chains.
Conspiring in the blood filled rain.
A deadly infection waiting to burst behind the frames.
The devil indulged me with her true name.

Holding onto the hand of the dead.
A revival of past tales bled.
Delusions live inside my head.
I lust for the girl that recently checked-in to bed.

Your presence is divine.
Loving you is a crime.
An attraction of the insane.
A whole other game.

Banned from the skies.
Breathing in cries.
Swallowed up clouds.
The downpour is defiantly loud.

A soulless gaze.
An empty stare.
Misplaced what's dear.
Inside the infernos blaze.

I will not be tamed.
I'll force my love to stain.
Beneath the earth's face.
My blood will drive my case.

The darkest days.
All work, no play.
Colors took, borders set grey.
Life with you, still has a ways.

You know me.
When I don't know myself.
You see me.
When I don't see myself.
You validate me.
Since I can't evaluate myself.

As her silhouette descends the night.
Reality's strain.
Too much to contain.
I'm seeing at a different height.
I won't regulate my pace.

Everything I find that I like...
Gets shattered before being able to take flight.
I can't grasp the light.
Fight after fight.
It's always night.
I'm left here with a fright.

The pressure is heavier behind the wheel.
Everyday situations have made me kneel.
The passenger seat reflects against the glass.
Showcasing opportunities abandoned as I sped past.

Metal clamps down with a crash.
My angel disappeared into the vast.
Frantically heaving past the tall grass.
I couldn't tell when our paths would next pass.

This time, I found her left in a final pose.
Her beauty transcended that of a nearby rose.
Sitting upright, all alone.
It was not right, rotting to the bones.

Our story cut in half ever so fast.
We couldn't will it to continue until the last.

Fixated on your presence.
I will be your menace.
You'll swear to a penance.
Not letting you speak a sentence.
I treasure your precedents.
You'll be my little blemish.
I'll forge you into a dazzling pendant.

My final letter remains unsent.
I don't want to end it.
Stay here as my confidant.
Help me stay confident.

The city still sparkles.
It's a wonder that startles.
But, I don't care for the artificial.
I need our love to stay official.

Faded in pain.
Not able to be detained.
You are my main.
I know you feel the same.

Just tell me you love me.
Tell me...
I'm all you can see.
Tell me...
It's always been you on the other side of the street.
Tell me...
After all this time, you've stayed tuned into my story.

You're still all I am able to conceive.
You're still all I will ever want to be.

I thought you were forever mine.
I won't wait until it's forever a crime.
I'll strive until the end.
I don't care if the heavens bend.

Digging into the soil conforming to her grave.
A wooden casket preserves her empty capsule.
Laughing all the while acting as the brave.
Raising her remains to resurrect the pillars of my castle.

Fixated on your presence.
I will be your menace.
You'll swear to a penance.
Not letting you finish your sentence.
I treasure your precedents.
You'll be my little blemish.
I'll forge you into a dazzling pendant.

As it sinks in.
Nothing helps but to grin.
I am for now just, him.
Yet, this will not be our fin.

We'll share in a pact.
There won't be any turning back.
I'll find the secret to win.
Beyond the status of simple sin.

Let me take you into transcendence.
Before you fall far beneath as just another descendant.

You know me.
When I don't know myself.
You see me.
When I don't see myself.
You validate me.
Since I can't evaluate myself.

As such, I still call you my spouse.
I'll be waiting right here, researching our reunion, inside of our house.
