No, you don't want me to be there…

To kiss your eyes, caress your hair… or kill that pain away

As pain is my companion, solitude my guide

Your sweet affection solely offers me a threat I cannot abide



Yet you'll lose yourself in me… in me



Bleed in my arms wounds within

Fall from grace as I offer you sin

Sacrifice yourself so frail…

This pseudo-love is as good as betrayal



So place your love in the palm of my hand…

where temptation lies within… that something you've yet to feel

And as I close my fist and awake your sleeping fears

Without forbearance I will quench my thirst of your crimson tears



You've lost yourself in me… in me



Bleed in my arms wounds within

Fall from grace as I offer you sin

Sacrifice yourself so frail…

This pseudo-love is as good as betrayal



Weep for promises which all died

A drop of tear for every lie

Love forever torn away…

I am only to cherish your pain



…I am only to cherish your pain
