Gazing out over the land of eternal beauty and despair,
Minds wonder, thinking only of themselves, having no care.


Become me, for just one second, maybe you'll see,
Even now, whatever I reveal, you still don't believe.


Have no courage and you fall, have too much and there you are,
Playful games that mean nothing, just as a great romance under the star,


That we wish on together, saying our love will never fail,
But there I go, once again suicidal, its a common tale.


Don't act surprised, when I love you with all my heart,
Demanding nothing, only a terminal case of we shall never part.


Isn't this the way it should be, love one and love all,
Not in the lives of the true gentleman, they were born to fall.


Caring is only a quarter there, we said we would meet half,
I'm standing here waiting for you, completely surrounded by black.


Earth explode, if this is the best you have to offer,
I'm here for one purpose, and that is simply to love her.


Where is my help, I'm lost in this impossible task,
I try to get close to you, but find you wearing a mask.


A disguise of negative temptation, that never fails to turn me away,
But I’m strangely attracted to this apparition, still begging you to stay.


But I’m not happy, don't know how to become what I need,
I'm not talking down at you, simply to what I am saying take heed.


Because it comes from my heart, and that's the place you can always be sure,
To count on endless love for your existence, clean, powerful, and devastatingly pure.
