Iridescent Wings

We're caught in a whirlwind

I fall off the deep end

You know it hurts me to hold on

You've sunk your teeth in

And I'm only pleading

It's how the story ends that

We've been writing way too long

Your iridescent wings

They cut like crystal sins in the light

But I can't escape you

I won't erase you

I'm intertwined

And though you drag my name

My body enters an altered state

Dissolved, defenseless in your gaze

A weakened aura anyway

We're caught in a whirlwind

I fall off the deep end

You know it hurts me to hold on

You've sunk your teeth in

And I'm only pleading

Let me go

But you tear away

At my fragile place

You tear away

My remaining strength

It's how the story ends that

we've been writing way too long

You make me your prisoner

A captive heart strung out on a line

Yet I cannot hate you

I long to embrace you

I'm hypnotized

We're caught in a whirlwind

I fall off the deep end

You know it hurts me to hold on

You've sunk your teeth in

And I'm only pleading

Let me go

But you tear away

At my fragile place

You tear away

My remaining strength

And did you imagine you'd be

The one who brought that pain to me

And you took all I had to lose

All that would keep me safe

We're caught in a whirlwind

I fall off the deep end

You know it hurts me to hold on

You've sunk your teeth in

And I'm only pleading

Let me go

That we've been writing way too long

But you tear away

At my fragile place

You tear away

My remaining strength

And did you imagine you'd be

The one who brought that pain to me

And you took all I had to lose

All that would keep me safe

(All that would keep me safe)

(All that would keep me safe)

(All that would keep me)
