Save Me

When you come undone,
  We will try to stay blind,
 To the hope and fear outside.

   I did not mean to fall,
  I did not want to care,
 I did not want to need you.

   You are unfolding before my eyes,
  And when you move, you move through me,
 Under my skin.

   Shed your Armour, spin your web.
  Hypnotize me with the longest stare.
 Make your promise, or maybe a threat.

   Is there room in my heart,
  For you to follow your heart?
 And not need more blood, from the tip of your star.

   Just a little breath, on the water now,
  Is all we need.

   Just a little strength, in our hearts
  Enough to heal.

   Face to face, no telling lies.
  The masks they slide, to reveal
 A new disguise.

   You never can win, it's the state I'm in,
  This danger thrills, and my conflict kills.

   They say follow your heart, follow it through,
  But how can you, when you're split in two.

   There's a night, where you close your eyes,
  Round a real dream, that shines
 Like the sun.

   Everyone knows its beautiful,
  Tell me, why you want to dream
 It alone.

   And, I say that I love you,
  I say that I need you, baby.

   I leave you all the lines in my palm,
  No shadows will get you.

   No heart will desert you,
  Nothing will hurt you.
 Do you any harm.

   And, I am lonely here, deep inside myself.
  Deep inside myself.
 Believe in the light, in me.

   I am here, deep insid of me.

   And, the ghosts I keep inside myself.
  How do they see me?
 While again, I'm drowning in my soul.

   Will you save me?
 
                 / F /
