Scary Thoughts Plant a Grave In Me

I can see you in the reflection of the waters behind closed eyes…
You haven’t won this battle between us – I will not listen to your lies

Deliver us from the licking flames of uncertainty
Fire me up with your passionate glow
You wicked angel of mine – make me your one and only
You tattooed a scar in my heart…you’re as dark as a crow
You punctured me with words of painstaking poetry, but yet it was moving 
You painted a picture of adoration and joy in my heart’s melody 
Passion and happiness was never easy to get, but once I got it, there’s no such thing as losing
I won’t be losing this race tonight – you’ll be failing miserably…
Be careful what you wish for
What’s behind the closed door?
You open in curiosity
I see you wandering around sheepishly…

CHORUS: I can see you in the reflection of the waters behind closed eyes…
It’s crystal clear that you were this dark, fallen angel all over again – how did I know you became so corrupted? I’m sorry this happened to you, yet I don’t feel guilty for what you’ve done
You haven’t won this battle between us – I will not listen to your lies
I remember how I used to orbit around you as if I was the sun, orbiting the Earth…don’t ignore the pain that is going to eventually drive us insane – we will run hand in hand in the glistening sun

I want this…I want this bliss that’s dwelling in your heart
There’s fervent flames scorching in your heart from the start 
Take a deep breath and swim in the abyss with me for a little awhile
You’re playing your little foolish games again…come on and run the extra mile
With me and turn my dreams into a reality…
Even if death tears us apart, we were meant to be free
Alright, dark angel…
Give me your best shot and show off your dynamic spirits of the abyss
Oh, you little devil…
Come and get me…hunt me down like your next prey..I pray I won’t kiss my distressful mistress

CHORUS: I can see you in the reflection of the waters behind closed eyes…
It’s crystal clear that you were this dark, fallen angel all over again – how did I know you became so corrupted? I’m sorry this happened to you, yet I don’t feel guilty for what you’ve done
You haven’t won this battle between us – I will not listen to your lies
I remember how I used to orbit around you as if I was the sun, orbiting the Earth…don’t ignore the pain that is going to eventually drive us insane – we will run hand in hand in the glistening sun

Scary thoughts plant a grave in me; my heart is beating to the rhythm of yours
I’m terrified by the darkness and what it’s revealing to me…there’s no chance to say farewell
To this misfortune that falls upon us…I’m heaving sighs of grief as I open several doors
Don’t bring me down, cruel, callous gravity – my heart’s beating rapidly and it’s going pell-mell
If I were handsome like diamonds in the cave,
I would’ve been like a knight, standing tall and brave
You and I were so perfectly flawed…you are the sunset and I’m the sunrise
You and I never quite fit in like those lonely pieces of the puzzle…you stare me down with knives in your eyes
Are you lost in your own paradise?
I’m done with you & I’ve waved my goodbyes
I don’t walk on sticks, needles and rocks anymore…
I knew something was awaiting me – a future in store
