Hearts Wide Shut

Talk to me with words of sorrow,

The only words i learned to know.

Be still my bleeding heart, while i hold my breath

And wait for it to pass, but it never will, never has.

Your loving light will only wake them,

Make them appear from their hiding.

Would you make them disappear?

But no one can, not even you.

I crossed the oceans of tears

And sacrificed all these hearts

On the altar of you.

But these same ghosts will haunt me

Until my last days,

One by one risen from their graves

Telling me i'm not worth being forgiven

For the all hearts wide shut.

The white veil falls upon your face

Covering the scars and tears.

And as you walk down the aisle

The marble steps end, and you fall.

I won't be there to save you;

I'll let you fall, just like the others before.

I crossed the oceans of tears

And sacrificed all these hearts

On the altar of you.

But these same ghosts will haunt me

Until my last days,

One by one risen from their graves

Telling me i'm not worth being forgiven

For the all hearts wide shut.
