I'll make a decisive choice to fly away

Scatter those feathers beneath you

Learn your god; so that I can find your heaven

The sky lights up and the shaking ground shifts left

My breath puffs through the cold sky and my fingers clench tight

All the angels are leaving me tonight; I can feel it in your somber gaze

Thank you for giving me arms to hide within

I never got to say that out loud; now I'll never get to say it at all

I hope that you can be happy later on when my memory is hidden deep

I can't be home later on love, and I'm sorry about that

But this is something I have to do for myself before ragnarok initiates

I watch you dive into my deceit and I turn to run away fast but your voice calls me back

My scars are proud for the sake of my sanity, lining up my arms and back

Like a haunting fairy tale that's been converted to something sweeter

A gun's safety is clicked off; a choked cry ricochets through the endless sky

It's drown out by the flames

I'll not be home tonight; I don't think that I'll find it again

But being with you gave me solace; it gave me something to dream about

You can't be strong tonight love; I need it all for me

I reach forward and grasp your hand; your voice breaks as you try to tell me something

My finger ghosts over your lips, your eyes scream adoration

I need you, so I will save you

Turning away I'm unsteady; but I have my justification

That will always be you.
