Forever In Effigy


Mix the firelight 
And compliment with 
with fluctuating 
endless ebbing 
of the tide within my chest 
on the scene 
you hear my words 
but cant know what they mean 
so listen closely dear 
Im here to open up your eyes 

Watch the sky 
watch anything but 
dont look in my eyes 
cause I wont last a minute in your 
sights and hold 
your breath as I hold mine 
this body never meant to stand against 
perfection of this kind 

Tell the truth 
pay the price 
whether wrong or right 
theres no changing of what you feel 
and Im not one to fight 
futile as these hopes may be 
I made a promise I must keep 
so cut me open cut me open, cut me 

You and I 
were meant for so much 
greater things but 
here is where we lie 
and I cannot find the strength to fight tonight 

You are 
the last thing from what I deserve 
electric in your every word 
in every breath, in every step 
you take your beauty all for granted 
you cant youll never see you like I do 

Pick up the heart that beats that bleeds for you 
I cant find I wont find the trust to 
See this through
