Hand To Hell

Forgive me
For my selfish desires
Protecting what's left from the fire

Half-burnt dreams and memories
Of a fictitiously flawless part of me
Where the flame inside was warm and kind
And doesn't smolder my peace of mind

I'm afraid to let you hold me
Because the first never said sorry
For things that can't be undone
For this first and final son

I don't deserve the care you've given
Nor the love that you put in
To this life you know I've burned before
Leaving naught but sorrow tore

Please don't leave me here alone
I know it burns
But our damnations my salvation

Through this fear that I'm forced to endure
When love is lost but your hearts still sore
I don't think I can take it anymore, anymore

I'll tear off my horns
To make a halo
So your family and friends
Will never know

But this disguise of kind lies
Has even fooled your loving eyes
And this house of wolves won't let you leave
And you'd be forced to burn with me

So let my horns fall back on my bleeding head
Like a crown of hate from the things they said
And I'll push you back to heaven above
So they'd never see this forbidden love

And the taste and the smell of the lead-lined roses
Keeps me smiling and sublime as the attic closes
To leave with the fate I chose
For this curtain to fall on my final show

Please don't leave me here alone
I know it burns
But our damnations my salvation

Through this fear that I'm forced to endure
When love is lost but your hearts still sore
I don't think I can take it anymore, anymore

Take me
Save me

Tell me
Hate me

Just know that I care
Though I know we're both scared
And our souls won't be frayed
Just as long as you don't stay

I will be with you
Through thick and thin
Though we're both changing
This won't be the end of us

I'll meet you again
When Heaven sees its sin
But for now
Stand proud

Say you'll be okay
As the sun rises another day
Without me
And without the pain I've cause or the fire I've put you through

Please just leave me here alone
I know it burns
But my damnations your salvation

Through this pain that we have endured
When love is lost so your heart can soar
I'm sure I can make it through what's next
Just please take my word
It's all I have left
When our time is a blur
Just remember I'll always love you
