Even to the gallows (Your crazy)

I made a few mistakes,
I taught myself to be dependent on you,
I chased waterfalls instead of lakes,
settled for a mirage so untrue,
told myself we'd last forever,
and watched forever burn away like chaff,
incandescently lit streets to never,
vanity glowing, magical stuff.

Then your crazy made me see,
Just how foolishly I was acting,
Trading away my now for eternity,
promised in a whisper, dissipating,
Then your crazy made me see,
just how deep I was falling,
in a pit painted with pity,
drawing me in to the chaining.

I wanted a friend, I wanted your shadow,
I wanted the sweet taste of tomorrow,
I wanted my lonely, to become your hollow,
I wanted my sun to melt your snow,

I wanted your song, I wanted your sorrow,
I wanted my width to be come your narrow,
I wanted your kiss, I wanted to follow,
wherever you would lead, even to the gallow...s

I slipped a few times,
tripped and fell enamoured with your embrace,
yet in your morose eyes were watery rhymes,
and darkness smiling behind your iris' face,
I shuddered in that surreal calm,
I told myself you meant no harm,
yet it was my soul you wanted to embalm,
with your crestfallen charm,

But it was your crazy that made me see,
Just how foolishly I was acting,
Trading away my now for eternity,
promised in a whisper, dissipating,
Then your crazy made me see,
just how deep I was falling,
in a pit painted with pity,
drawing me in to the chaining.

I wanted a friend, I wanted your shadow,
I wanted the sweet taste of tomorrow,
I wanted my lonely, to become your hollow,
I wanted my sun to melt your snow,

I wanted your song, I wanted your sorrow,
I wanted my width to be come your narrow,
I wanted your kiss, I wanted to follow,
wherever you would lead, even to the gallow...s
