Who needs enemies when we've got friends like you? ~ Anberlin

Lovers 

We're on the run
Our tail lights reflecting
Off hood whites we're leaving behind
I can almost smell the sunshine.
Telling your lies for power and fame
Hiding yourself for whatever you gain
Baby, come clean, just tell me your name
And I swear you'll sleep freer tonight.
I watch your fingers stroking the keys
And how I wish it was me
And I don't even know who you are
Better yet, I doubt that I care
Baby don't stare
Cause I see sunshine in your eyes
But I can't taste it yet.
Don't worry, I won't forget
I'll leave before you wake up
So your image remains
And maybe one day I won't
Maybe one day I'll stay
Just let time slip away
Just see what the future may bring
If this means anything;
And maybe you'll hate me
And maybe you'll take me for all that I have
Just so long as you'll take me at all.
Oh baby, I don't care who's between your sheets
Just tell me your secrets and I'll be complete
I see the border and smell the sunshine
I reach for your love but I know that it ain't mine
Cause we're still on the run.
Just stop hiding who you are
We can almost taste it, it isn't very far
Just to love and be loved in return.

The Destroyer of Worlds

Void

I  am twilight
A temporary state
That has lingered on too long
A momentary passing time
Made better when it's gone.
I am seclusion
For all that I'm so long without
I'm better left alone.
I'm stood alone on endless hope,
Hear foolish call my name
"Madness" I argue
"Madness" I scream
"Madness" the echoes answer back the same.
Pray the Lord above
Forgive uncertain hearts
In these unfaithful times
"Madness" the echoes answer back my crimes.
I am void
The endless unremembered, unforgotten vague
The all-consuming absence, the all-consuming rage.
I am blood
The dripping, oozing abscess
That tarnishes your gaze
As my glass eyes do pierce it
Quite literally, I'm afraid.
Though you don't believe me yet
Don't know sorrow is its name
I beseech you, don't find out the same.
I am the lonely soul
The empty heart
The vacant, absent stare.
I am death
For we all know I don't belong.
I am death
Though I cannot find my way home.
