I'll play the spin doctor for a while
I'll wear a bow and arrow
I'll feed you lies, for a while
in what universe were you mine, I'd like to know
it doesn't make sense to me either
I know you think you've got me
and I don't know what I'm doing
but I'm conscious every step of the way
in what universe were we friends
you ask me
and wouldn't you like to know
not too old for me
lest too jaded
not too much a fool
but less made one
I'd like to pick you off
like cherry blossoms
and feed you to my friends
analyse you with a drink of wine
and knock you for ten
I cannot explain how nice it feels
to be the one to make you wish you were someone else
so here's your starter for ten
life is like a game, is it not
when you angle it at your next prey
I'd take my gloves off but
you don't fight fair
I suppose you think this is about you
but it's not
I'll be writing poetry
when you're dead and gone
with some practice you'll learn
don't fuck with me again
serve me a reminder not to fall in love again
remind me not to let anyone else in again
you clipped my wings just when I thought I could fly
I'm Icarus in the diaphanous folds of your sky
the sun shines bright but you shine brighter still
the way you came after me was overkill
I wasn't ready for the burn of what you had to give
my mind struggles to recall when I gave you the incentive
I blame myself for letting things get this far
and now I'll forever bear your scar
my heart's a plethora of disease, I'd rather take a heart attack
than love you for another minute. The wax,
it falls away from my eyes
your rays, they set my fragile wings alight
like Pandora's box
I keep hope deep inside
what else have I got
but these things that remind
that I haven't got you
just for a second, please
Hold tight.
I'm trying to pretend that loving you is easy
so I'll choke on a smile and I'll close my eyes
and I'll dream of you;
The Light of my Life

I don't see the point in anything
No I don't see at all
I look to the future and all I see
is a wasteland coming for me
the twilight falls over me
I'm stuck in this forsaken zone
Oh Lord
when are you coming for me
cause I've been waiting for too long

I don't see sunshine
cause I don't need it
this darkened sky is all I need
I'd pick you up so you could touch it
but you're always so fucking cold.
you think I'm stupid but I'm not
you think I'm unless but you're wrong
I don't need you
I wouldn't buy you if you were the last in stock.
