Boy with a smile and a darkness to fear
He sleeps, so soundly, curled up on his side,
he drank his last drink, said his last goodbyes,
he loved a girl with all his heart,
tried to hold on with all his might.
I held him together, my hands on his scars,
he tried so hard to hold onto our stars,
he stood ahaking, all skin and bones,
he just wants me to leave him alone.
Drowning in a sea of pain,
multi- colored coated drugs,
was all for him,
that was never enough.
"She doesn't understand me" he'd say
"She doesn't know the pain".
He never took the chance to pull,
pull up on her sleeves,
to see what she is hiding underneath.
The girl he loves sees the darkness too,
she always felt so terribly blue,
her arms had a railroad track of scars,
some old, some new, some left drying.
She holds him together,
he pushes her deeper,
deeper into the darkness,
of her mind and her life.
Never mind that the darkness,
has taken over,
taken over her life.
The new stars no longer,
shine, oh so bright.
The boy drowns in self-destruction,
but so does the angel,
of darkness.
She is drowning in the darkness,
for oh so long, she's been trying,
to fight against it, she's been trying,
to keep them both afloat.
Don't know how much longer,
she can keep hold.
He holds his hand out,
and she pulls him to her,
trying to shield him from,
this world full of hurt.
He doesn't know her nights.
A blade, and filled with lies,
she's tried to say her last goodbyes.
Only one thing is keeping her here,
a boy with a smile and a darkness to fear.
She tries to keep him, but if he should go,
she wouldn't be far behind him.
But he doesn't know that,
doesn't know that the pain he feels, so does she,
doesn't know that his angel of darkness,
is drowning in her own darkness.
