a fleeting mind captive in a shattered dream

hatred awaits
where I seek warmth
when flames of love dance on our palms
the hands that you hold, now bind and bruise, forevermore
you leave me no space to breathe
your frantic words crush me like a crashing wave
strike like a swelling storm

you tried to hide your fears in quiet tears
when your lips are shaking when you dare to speak
you tried to build a wall
tried to distance yourself from me
but I smell you fear
bleeding out your worries through open wounds

etching scars on my heart, bleeding from open wounds
twisted and tangled in love and fate
pulses are beating out of time, in disarray
I've got thorns in my head

your tender touch turns into ice
leaving chills on my skin
your whispers, once soothing
now carry frost, a freezing, bitter frost

I know your eyes, they are catching mine
cause I'm hiding away from your sight

your tender touch turns into ice
leaving chills on my skin
your whispers, once soothing
now carry frost, a bitter frost

I've always wanted to run away from you
but I'm intoxicated
there's no way, no way out of this
I guess this is my fate

a fleeting mind captive in a shattered dream
lost in your caress
in your gaze
I see a predator's eyes
no exit in sight
in a love so unkind
love so unkind yet fascinating
