Lost on the path of false affections
She hides her heart in self protection
In the twists and turns of loose connections
She made a lover out of rejection
Pleading from the gallows
Sticking to the shadows
The world's a high ledge to fall from ;
Confused by one way conversations
One too many thoughts lost in translation
Blinded by so many unwanted revelations
That afflictions of love are so contagious
Fading into echoes
Drowning in the shallows
The world's a hard stone to land on ;
Love can be lonely
Life can be wasted fast
Time can be something sad
Like innocence you wish you never had
When tears are her only
Remembrance of where she's been
And scars are the only friends
That still remain under her skin
She walks
She crawls
To move on ;
In the legacy of broken memories
From the tragedies of abscessed dreams
To spend her days in dark obscurity
Wishing for better days when she can finally sleep
Drifting through the empty pages
Exchanging the open spaces for cages
The world's a hungry beast to run from ;
So she hides her eyes with darkened gothic lash
And her body behind the cloaks of blackened sash
In her corner she still wonders
If this is really all there is
And if life is so grandiose
why so little is done with it
It's all bugs and lies and sweaty goodbyes
And alibis that make her sick
Will she stick around
If this is everything she's going to get
Is it all too long
Is it all too wrong
So she asks herself why
She's isn't through with all of this Lie yet ;
Love can be lonely
Life can be wasted fast
Time can be something sad
Like innocence you wish you never had
When tears are her only
Remembrance of where's she's been
And scars are the only friends
That still remain under her skin
She walks
She crawls
