We Can Save This
September 12, 2014 at 6:07am
I feel the room is spinning as our time is dwindling, our roaring fire reduced to kindling, stuck in thought on what life's to mean, the life we'll live, the life we've seen
And above all else I just hate to fight you, even if you're wrong, you'll fight, despite you, I put on a mask but you see right through, and you refuse to talk, so I'll just write you
I know it seems to be a pretty poor substitute, but I can't think straight, I'm so in love with you, and as we reach a point of retrograde, I think about what love would do
It tells me to stay, not to make my exodus, there's this word called "effort", encircled with emphasis, my heart's been locked down in prison, can you tell me what the sentence is?
I was reminded that my heart wasn't left with me, you sealed the deal when you swallowed the key, just to prove that we were meant to be, I would have stolen the stars, or parted the sea
When clouded by anger I still find my virtue, remember that day I swore I'd never hurt you, and I understand if you want some space, slow the pace, love's not a race

You could trek the world and I'd still be here, waiting forever and ever, my dear, who'd think that love was a thing I would cherish, from time to time I had thoughts of marriage
But then I knew I was getting ahead of myself, am I reaching for Heaven or the bed of my Hell? A demon beheld by memories, I fell, I said I was in pain and you said you could tell
But then you took me and held me, said it'd be all okay, this is still love, we're living day after day, an immediate cool of my engines that calmed the fire of my vengeance
And I found in your arms this overwhelming serenity, you embraced me and my identity, and it's in these moments that I feel there's hope, you're the reason I'm here, the reason I cope
With your head on my heart, you hear all my chest beats, the pause in the seconds, the life that has left me, I feel like I am a pawn on this board, nothing but a chess piece
You say some things just to get a rise in me, you're not despising me, just sizing me, pushing my buttons just to see if I'll crack, and when I start to get distant you put me on track

But part of you just loves to see me so mad, when I'm sick of the bullshit and pain that I've had, 'till I'm twisted with torment and nothing but sad, you put your hands on my face, become the end of the bad
So I'm wondering and I'm pondering, sometimes I find my mind's wandering, how could you be the drug that sedates me, you'd accuse me, then you'd abate me
And all this shit has become so confusing, I have strife in my life, but I'm still losing, but even with that yet I refuse to let go, you're the love of my life, I'm certain, I know
I want you to know that I think we can save this, it's a beautiful flower, both of us made this, and what if we both have the same wish? To live in a life and relation that's painless
But this is no fairy-tale written in text, you are no Queen and I am no King, but with all the trials and problems and things that we've conquered, I swear we could be the same thing
Take these words to your heart and be serious, I am anything all but delirious, don't you remember the things that we've gone through, I have, and I'm writing this song too

These are feats that we should be proud of, if I could speak my mind, I'd scream louder, and these people would hear me going on endlessly if they asked what I loved about her
Call me a sappy romantic, I really don't care, I still breathe in her presence, the scent of her hair, and sometimes when I catch myself looking at her I find that it's easy to stare
'Cause you're magical and I get lost in it, I built a bridge, but I'm still crossing it, and I'd put all my effort and energy into this until I've utterly exhausted it
So when I find that we've reached a state of decay, there's no limit or boundary to the price that I'd pay to keep you convinced, that there's no other way, your love is my life, don't take it away
But it's the little things that chip away at our structure, it's hard to fix a heart when it ruptures, but I'd stitch it together, remend it, whatever, I hate to see you suffer
I'd fall to my knees, hit the ground and recover, turn over the atlas, I'd search for another, give you all the reason, depart from the treason, to convince you to still be my lover.
