The music starts

smooth

takes over the movement in my chest

her voice opens up my mind

questions

I feel like you

take me outside

take me to your hiding place

where you lie dormant

where you lie to me for hours

I see only you

I love only you

but years change

and I want to give you a change

remember, monster

this is how we are

and I slowly fly

around your easy mind

dancing to every strike of each note

dance with me

under the hiss of the violin

one million waves.

But misery gave us a better life

winds unspoken

ugly openings to the black heart

remember who we were

we fell easily

as I watched your hell leave

slowly fading into me,

my gentle hand

I will always hold you

swaying to your miserable song

we'll fly,

we're better off this way;

you carry me,

you carry me until the end.
