Tangled in your innocence
A smile slowly forms
To battle with the raging hearts
And calm the blackest storms.
Take down the questiones, tampered with
And answers laced with hate.
Replace the void with scattered breath
While voice patiently waits.

So send me down a bitter cry,
A stone or darkened scream.
Play for me a lullaby
To echo in my dreams.
Sing to me of sweetest love
Or the deeper realms of fear
And all that hangs between the lungs
And breaks alone with tears.

Tell me stories, tell my lies.
Drink the reddest wine.
Linger longing in my reach
Until the end of time.
Whisper softly, "Faith is dead,"
And take my broken hand.
Dangle choice in front of me
And scream every command.
