To Pray Upon a Plane Crash
satellites were set alight
Complicated fantasies of broken glass and shattered bones
Sweet surrender
In the wreckage
All across the road
I feel nothing at all
In your embrace
But it's all I know
I ran, and ran, with tired legs
Desperate for you to see my face
But with the weight, I begin to slow
Shame falls upon me and it drags me home
You're freezing cold
And I become nothing
Unyielding faith
Your lethal weapon
Withholding embrace and waiting to sever
Left in the dark
No signs of emotion
Just so that you can say
I told you
At last I saw
The swing of the axe
It turned out
All I had to do was ask
But I knew that it was worth it
To set it all alight
To see you burning brightly in that ever fading light
Is this but a dream?
Eyes of a serpent
All make believe
You bled me with purpose
Now I see through you
