I sing my sorrow and all the light goes dim;
I hold my muses and all is calm again.
(I promise I will protect you up inside my heart.)
The lyrics go flying out, depressed and melodic,
And dramatic irony plays in:
I close my eyes and all the world stops spinning.
I confess that you lulled me into security
And held me, lustful, loved me quite lamentful.
(I promise I will protect you up inside my heart.)
Screams resound from the wind, Love's bloods pours:
mourn life and Death's song:
I close my eyes and all the world stops spinning.
I worried you'd fall the way you fly,
But I see distant and I yell your dream.
(I promise I will protect you up inside my heart.)
I should have dreamed a wish instead;
At least when he leaves they come back again.
I close my eyes and all the world stops spinning.
(I promise I will protect you up inside my heart.)
