Tiffany
From eternal darkness let their be light
my eyes clasp shut
I cannot handle the sight
for every second my gaze is lit
I decode hidden riddles that i see fit
my sanity is aged like fine wine
yet i cannot sleep without a beam or shine
Your holding a candle stick
it burns me away brick by brick
your out of reach but not out of sight
so far away
are you moving forward or backwards?
you see, many many times
my heart has played me many many times
the same song...
its easy to forget...
the words it take to spark
something truly great to start
I wont forget those words
<3 look another heart
