Side by side we lie, happy
In each other’s grasp

Tending our together
Never ever ticking hands

Yet my mending heart, safely
Placed inside your arms

Shakes and says it can’t
Accept that gentle happiness

Ah

Ah, like a vacant sky recovered
To be covered with a hole

Both my defenseless core and
Empty form resemble such an air

Where they’re contorted and distorted
Cut with cuts that never close

Who is that staring back at me?

Please leave me bleeding lovesick
For the sickest sort of love
On edge, I bet “enough”
Can’t be enough to hold me up

No, it just keeps me hurting

Still, your gentle ways fill
My heart and make me wish

We could stay like this
For forever and a day

All the while my heart
Set to set intent apart

Panics and forbids that
Bit of modest happiness

Hideously twisting with a feeling

Can’t ignore the horrors that I’ve seen

Bandage and manage, yeah I’m trying

But the cuts stick to
My skin time after time
Are they even mine…?

Please only loan me kisses if
Your lips are dressed in red

I need a break, a breaking
Substitute to live instead

Please leave me bleeding lovesick
For the sickest sort of love

That kind of kind, I know it
Shows how broken I’ve become

Yes, it’s why I’ll be lonely

For life
