To my Crimson Lover.

~King of Hearts<KoH>

Take the vows and make a deal
and contemplate our futures
but my old wounds won't ever heal
if you keep clawing at the sutures

You can bury all of your anguish
as deep as you'd like inside of me
I can take it away, push it down
It's easy enough to do, you'll see

What feels so right's most often wrong
This devil's dare just hurts too much
it's gone on now for far too long
destroyed my heart with just one touch

It never ends, but I, my friends,
can't tell you how it starts
but on it goes, it ever shows
that I'm the King of Hearts

I can show you all those knots
I can tie them really really tight
so that you'll stay put from now on
in the middle of the night

You wondered if my love was real
if I only could just prove it to you
you leave me with even less to feel
and now there's nothing that I can do

A misty day not so long ago
I fell in love among fallen trees
and having known this fear before
it nearly brings me to my knees

Blood, pain, and fear, all held so dear.
This time round, the fastest yet
and on it goes, but never slows....
my pattern... redhead, blonde, brunette

Speak the words to prove it's real
I scratch, but it still itches
but my heart simply will not heal
'cause you keep tearing out the stitches.
