Refrain

Stitch me up like a ragdoll

and throw me to one side

I've killed myself on caustic thoughts

Rage, my sweet cantharide



Raw on feeling - not perceiving

Watch me bleeding - disbelieving

Touch and go - my final course

Cry out loud - my voice is hoarse



Shed a tear for he who hates

and cast him out of sight

Watch him drown in his regret

for words he said in spite



Never resting - always testing

He was seething - now he's grieving

Picking up the broken shards

The love she held has now been scarred



Only atop the pillar of pain

does he witness her heart refrain...




Watch her turn about her heel

and throw love to the dust

His explanations, pleading, words

do not erase disgust



Stomach churning - sleepless yearning

Fortunes turning - pain is learning

Don't dare catch me, break my fall

It's self-inflicted after all



The sun rises to break the clouds

The mind's climate stays grey

He hopes to shine like Lucifer

and soothe the night to day



Cowardice - disrupting bliss

A far-off kiss, becomes a hiss

Can he step forth to make amends?

Or is this where the romance ends?



Only atop his pillar of pain

does he witness her heart refrain...
