The Day We Fade Away

Don’t fail, Don’t fall, Don’t rise, Don’t call out to me
I am where you are, Next to you forever without exception
Don’t die, Don’t stay, Don’t lie, Don’t say you see
You know not what you claim, You swear by your foolish perception

I am your hope, I am your blood, I am the missing piece that puzzles you
Every second you spend crying out, Is a second you could be lying with me
I’m not saying I’m perfect, I’m not saying we’re perfect, But I will never give you up
As the war rages on, Between holy and insincere, I promise to stand by you always

Your wrists are covered with snakes, Biting and bleeding you dry
Your chest is covered with veils, Creating shadows to hide you
Your legs are covered with wolves, Howling to the moon inside
You are covered with blood, Come rest inside my arms tonight

Is this too much, Have I given you enough time to think this through
Are you in too deep, Covered in sand and rust, Standing in the freezing rain
These walls are pushing you away, While welcoming you home finally
They lie to bring you home, Your home is in your heart and it lies with me

As I spend the rest of my life crying out to you, I pray you never stop listening
As I spend the rest of my life dying for you, I pray you never stop living
If you promise me to never give up, To stay within the love I gave to you
Then I promise to never give you up, To give you my love till the day we fade away
