I can't love you in the dark.
Dreaming in silver and gold,
every broken heart knows
you take a piece of me and want it all.
I had a dream I was dying,
I can't do it with you watching me.
Sleep with one eye open,
my hands are searching for you
burning, fire racing through my being.
Soft, dark, and dreamless
they hate me for breathing without you.
Tied to a horse that will never tire,
shape of a man's desire.
One last time, as much as it hurts
follow your heart till it bleeds
to a place where all the demons go.
I survive.
Be my friend, hold me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you.
I run too fast, I hear voices
singing songs in the streets.
Smeared black ink,
I'm barely listening
staring at the asphalt
wondering where you stand.
It heals and it haunts me,
now its history. I've played all my cards,
the winner takes it all.
