Lay beside me and show me the world
Filled with beauty and wonder
Consumed by darkness, so divine.
Hold me in your arms
And whisper promises so that
They may become tainted in the ashes
The ashes that we breathe within the fire
Within the fire that burns in our souls
It's not too late,
To change the errors of our ways.
We were young, restless
Just searching for a place to belong,
Without really opening our hearts
We don't need global peace,
Flowers and sweet things.
Those are illusions; givin' to us
So that we may dream.
We've dreamt of worlds
Filled with peace
Ignoring the pleas of the pain
That settles in our souls
You cannot face truth
Without an open mind
There is beauty in this world
Truly, there is.
But first you must
Open your eyes, open your soul
To love what is abandoned.
To forgive what can be forgotten.
So, lay by me; hold me in your arms.
Whisper the truth to me, I'm not afraid of the pain.
It's better than being numb, to not feel your touch
Burning within me.
We can be together; forever,
And let that love sleep; forever sleep,
In the darkness that few embrace.
