why do you still forgive me?
after everything i've put you through
you give me the ability to ruin you
but i don't want to
what incursion has seized your mind?
what have i done to you?
your glazed eyes hold their own concept of truth
they hold me to this idolized form
that i cannot be rid of
this halo burns my head
these wings stress my shoulders
bringing the weight of your world
to me.
your burdens are mine to carry
and i can be so cruel to you
i don't choose not to
you let me lash out and let you know what this pain feels like
but it's like i'm not even speaking
somehow the murmur of your prayers drown out my screams of fear
so i cannot convince you that this is no good
you miss what stands so clearly ahead
the path before us is nothing more than an illusion
please don't make me take you there
once your eyes are opened
you'll see that these white clothes are torn
my shadow will refuse to follow me anymore
you will have to walk through the valley alone
because i can't go with you
once you enter the garden
you will know what i truly am
