Frightened and Armed

A violent compulsion, yet virtual strangers, impacts like these stand rare and endangered Built up to fall, forced to recover, I'm made up of clues for you to discover And I know I can help, if only you let me rewrite this love, be all that we should be Forever frightened and armed for combat I'm sorry I never intended to teach you that I need you to learn we'll never be normal You play by the rules, I'm perfectly feral and the chances we take, they set us apart, we followed each other's ravaged black hearts. I'm aware loving you is walking through fire but the paths on our maps, they spoke and conspired to lace and entwine, unite us as one so no matter how often you try to run, wherever you end up, there's clear certainty you'll find yourself right back here with me.
