My frantic heart has been searching for you
Finally meeting your wooden eyes
They're rotting away but I can still see the life inside
You're taking for granted
And it continues on

Entwined in the strings of darkness, I found you
The pale moonlight shining down
It's almost too hard to tell if
Those strings were controlling you
Or those strings were slaves to your whim

But… That's what attracted me to you.

Your black lips
They parted slightly in the darkness
Your pale body
Wrapping itself in your shadow
Your deep kisses
Engulfing your shadow blacker than darkness
Your smooth eyes
Filled with hatred as shallow as they are

And the sky is shedding shooting stars
I'm shedding tears for you
Since I know how incapable it is to do so
For someone like you
The woodrot trails down your cheeks show
An opposite puppet you used to hold inside
I'll be shedding tears for you my darling
I'll be shedding the light for you

I knew how cruel you could be
It was in the way you walked
The way you talked
The way you spoke
The way you carried yourself and your past
I thought that, with just enough love
And the touch of a human heart could change
That darkness you found
That darkness with a golden lining

But, you were playing with those strings of darkness

Making pretty shapes
Broken hearts, sad smiles,
A pair of wings, and a halo
A thread to hang by
And most importantly
A noose to swing by
It melted your heart
How you made them all for me
Finally ridding you that last piece of humanity

I hate you so much but
I've been so involved in your life
That the strings of darkness
Have become the black lining in my life
I'm trying to get rid of them but I can't
Rid myself of you

The shooting stars I shed from my life
The massive light I shed for you
You kept it going despite it all
It formed a shadow bigger than you could dream
And you adorned it so
Conforming to your curves perfectly
I'll force my eyes blind
Even if I have to tear them out
If it means I won't see
The tainted you you always were

Even so, I would never wish
For the death of you or even
The death of me, but
I'm screwed with where I am
You will carry on life,
A marionette to destroy stars and crush hearts
But the hole inside my will stay
As it was when you were here

And as it grows ever still
Like a cancer eating me away
It will never grow to be as big
As it was when you were here
