Him, The Galaxy and The Darkness

The Gracelessness That Is My Heart

Will you still love me?

Would you leave me if I told you what I'd done?

Would you leave me if I told you what I'd become; an empty shell of a person...

Madness...

Explosions...

I will suffocate.

I will shake off my demons and exorcise my ghouls, living on a moment and living on a single prayer.

I relive my past while in the present.

I am blind and I stumble.

I am clumsy.

I have a thousand regrets.

I will bury my past.

I will bury the gracelessness that is made of my heart.

I will spill my blood on the soil, and on your grave I will lay my head.

I can't shake them off.

Given half of a chance, I would take all of it back...

I am prepared to suffer and to feel hurt.

I am just an echo in the shout of your words.

My demons come out to play...

In the darkness, I hide. Under the sheets, I lie.

Would I... ? Really... ? Could I... ? Maybe...?

It's all I have to keep my ghouls at bay.

I will shake them off.

I will shake him off.

Never heard his name, not even in grace.

I will shake off my demons and exorcise my ghouls.

How could I leave it all behind?

Could I take a chance?

I like to keep my issues drawn-

No more questions, it's such a mournful sound.

I will shake them off.

I will exorcise the hurtful words and the fights.

It's a fine romance, but such a horrible frown.

I won't let it happen to me.

It's hard to dance with the ghouls on your back.

Would you still love me?

Would you leave me if I told you what I'd done?

Would you leave me if I told you what I'd become; a free, mess of chaos.
