Lovely Devils

For so long I have lived in
My own shadow, refusing to allow even
The slightest hope
For so long I have catered
To the hollow eyed dreamers
Whose lies begat me
And made me
A lover
And now I'm holding this in my arms
And telling myself
I'll break my heart
'Fore I let it guide me
Away from the stars
But I'll find my way, the only king
To reach the day that holds
My sun
I'll fly like the angel
Whose wings would dare take her
Past Icarus' folly
And straight into
My core
And we'll compile all these memories
And lock them in a chest
And we'll defile every sanctuary
On our way to the end
For so long, I and love have crossed blades
Died a thousand ways, just to breathe life again
That I may find this light again
Painting e'erything I've known in
Her mourning glow
But a star I've named forever
Has joined me for a drink
And the heart that so longed for her
Addressed her 'fore I could think
That she would lead me down this staircase
Coax one more smile from my face
Even as I turned from Heaven
To Hell, where she still stays.
