The pain of twisted narcissistic abhorrence for failure
Breathes a sigh, a cold fruition of my ways
Among these facile misconceptions, thirsts for rapturous delight
Dulcet tones, trivial words, and warm displays

And here I dwell in dark recesses, in this brooding state enslaved
Begrudging innocence from my decrepit cell
Lure the detriment within, enticed vexation, tempt denial
And spurn the fleeting piece of mind I knew so well

And I know reflection never counts for nothing
But my analytic mind won't let me be
And I'd give anything to hold you while you're sleeping

When I'm with you
All these fears I've fashioned fade away
When I'm with you
And everything is so much clearer
When I'm with you
The nights hold no more shadow than the day

Can I consume the cleraere artate amid thei pcloud of senses
Literally extract the best you'll see
And exercise these fiendisng legions, fraternise...space
Reveal the base of simple grace and not the deed
And I know reflection never counts for nothing
But my analytic mind won't let me be
And I'd die for you, you hold me while I'm sleeping

When I'm with you
All these fears I've fashioned fade away
When I'm with you
And happiness seems so much nearer
When I'm with you
The nights hold no more shadow than the day

I pushed dependence away, I found control
I was the eye of conviction, I was whole
Moulting fears of rejection, my hands grew still
Set my sights on direction and aspired to will
Woeful thoughts left behind me, a stayed disdain
I buried cold dereliction, I could feel again
Watched my apathy crumble, like a friend betrayed
Exiled penance forever, I'd never fade

I'd washed pretence from mentation, I'd found my door
I'd rid myself of confusion, suffered doubt no more
And at the road's intersection, with my head held high
I bred my own resurrection, bid myself goodbye
Shed morose lamentations for discarded skin
Childhood dreams of perfection, of finding peace within
And as these petty delusions slipped from sight and mind
I found myself quite contented
She drove for miles to spend one night
Then home again, you whispered in my ear
Forever danced upon your lips
Your fingers nestled in my hair
Your thighs and eyes my drowning fate
As I immersed myself within
The sweet perfection of your gaze
The warm affection of your skin
She played when all had slipped away
Pursued before she saw the flame
She waited patiently for me
When no one else would do the same
She mourned at every parting word
And brushed afflicted fears aside
She took my soul into her keeping

Add I'll miss her
For all she gave to me
And I'll feel her
For all she helped me see
Add I'll miss her
But I'm living strange
And I loved her
But things change
