Define Love

Violently you whisper
Childishly you lead me on
You paint your empty picture
As you scare away the break of dawn

You call yourself a work of art
I fail to see your meaning
Your presence scares the shades
The shades of red, your tainting red

Oh, pick up your pen
Finish what you started
Erase, erase those lines
Or darken, darken cause I’m blind

Lie! I lie!
The hidden beauty of your wings
Just captivate me
That face of yours just takes my breath away
It scares the daylight out of me

You call yourself a work of art
I failed to see at the start
Your world, my world collide
I see you
Do you see me?

Frightfully you come near
Quietly you disappear
I paint my empty heart and
I end up with you just smiling there

Oh, I pick up my pen
I finished what I started
Erasing is no easy thing
Your face defines my everything
