Edge of Love
Bring on what awakens
It falls under what I’ll lose
And so it goes on sleeping
Under a queen I will refuse
Face what she calls perfect
It got there through her pain
And so it circles back to nothing
Where every face becomes the same
Calmness and reflection
It gets me high on life
But then I find where this is leading
When I become her darling knight
I’ll screw her just to prove it
I’ll throw away my mind
And when I find she’s non-existent
I’ll spread her poison through a rhyme
So lovely in completion
So pointless to deny
If self-hate did not believe me
I’d give it all another try
