Hostage In the Night
Like an explosion of fire
i shall shatter through the atmosphere
carving my ever burning path
through the very stars themselves
riding on the milky way
my heart shall implode
from the very thought of love
finding bitter exposure through the tendrils
reaching out to grapple onto something like ground
for out in the stars there appears to be nothing,
nothing that can quench my heart
of what it most desires
a feeling of security
that among the stars is near impossible to find
except for the company of each shining burning gas
exploding as my heart so does forth
unable to truly find the heart
that is lost among them too
and matches perfectly to mine
Set ablaze in the wake of this grand betrayal
my heart is shrouded in stone and ice
as all joy and light fades
from my bleeding eyes
for now i know No fear
and i shall charge forth through the fires of hell
with the weight of the world at my back
with everything to gain and nothing to loose
for now i know that love which i once thought existed
was but a lie thrown to my face to take up
as if i were a starving beast
scavenging for but one piece of emotion
that be true as my soul
so tell me it may be as i look upon the stars
a wish on my tongue
pulling up from the consuming fires
that may take me hostage in the night
