Symbolism

Into these empty eyes I stare,
Lost in the labyrinth of despair,
Cast like treasure into the sea,
You tamed the waves,
Now come tame me.

In dreams, I’ve seen the art of our love,
As planes crashed into the towers above,
I feel like I’ve stayed here much too long,
Come with me now, and to me belong

I want to remain through memory and time,
I want you to call me yours,
And I want to call you mine,
But we only ever get what we deserve,
Into these eyes I stare unreserved

I don’t like rules; I don’t know what they mean,
Something never heard, something never seen,
Sleep soundly tonight, without the scarlet stains,
I’ll wear them for you tonight,
It with all that remains

For what a man gains is his until the end,
Leave me here sacred one, if ever you were my friend
Descending in to the depth below,
Let me close your eyes once again,
And care for me no more child,
I have learned to mend
