shadows

when i'm down and out, when i'm on my knees, when i've been beaten to the ground, stand over me, watch me bleed, always left untold, what lies underneath, while your hands so strong, yet cold, held me so tight i could not breathe, you're my ray of light darker than the night, you're the tears i cry, you're the cross and i'm the christ, like the others, i will deny everything, every flaw and every sin, how i need you, though i always knew, that the dream will would never last, i can not change the past, in my nightmares i'm with you, there is no applause, while this curtain falls, we're hand in hand, we're side by side, i am your groom and you're my bride, from your cold red lips i will drink the wine, just to feel alive, i must learn to say goodbye
