Pray You Take My Pain Away
Infected with what I want
Injected with what they say
Intrusted with my destiny
Disgusted with all the ways
I'm allowed to say I hate myself
I'm allowed to say I am myself
I'm allowed to say I hate them
But not allowed to be them
But I already am
Infected with what I want
Injected with these nightmares
Stay away from me....you will come
And catch them unawares
Will you chase them away from me?
And I'll sit with you until the dawn
Will you break their wings for me?
So that I'll be the one you lean upon
When all is said and done
And you are here beside me
Will you let me treat your wounds?
Please do not forget me
You say I am your precious honey bee
All I feel like is a stinger
No wings, no color, not purpose in life
A lonesome, loathesome singer
Fit to hold you? I think myself
To be this one to you
I'll bind your wounds and guide the moon
To light your angelic face so that
I can feel safe with you
Pathetic
Stingerless honey bee, hiding in your attic
With cobwebs for hair and eyes that will stare
Out at you, hour after hour after
Ten past four
In the morning, keeping you awake
Until your breath I take in words that will
Take me to the place where you will
Be with me
All for me
Forever
Jealously protected by the
Zealously watching honey bee
Infected with thoughts of you
Injected with words of truth
Protected by your lion-strength
With not even the courtesy to thank
Your willing heart
Your stilling heart
For if you die, what will I do?
In the attic at five past two
Cradling your head, too precioius to me
A face to whom I was too scared to be
Your precious little honey bee
Still and cold, no more shall you
Protect me from the things they do
That make me want to fly away, too
Into their world of infestation
Degridation, Immorilation
Devistation, Deprivation
Damnation, Infatuation
With things of dark and moonless knights
Where shadows whisper of godless plights
And the trees mourn the absence of
You, the protector of
The fightened little honey bee
Alone and scared, pathetic
In a cobweb-molested attic
Where once laid the form
Of the bane of evil's storm
Should that be me
And that be you
I would not know what I would do
Because...because I love you
...I think...
Pray, you take no shame in remembering my name
Pray, you take no fear in holding me so near
Pray, you take my pain, and I'll hold you again
Pray, don't push me away
Pray for the sun, another day
With you
I'll take no shame in taking the blame
For the wounds they inflict upon you
Lean on me, your precious honey bee
If I can be of any use to you
Take me, make me what you will
The cobweb angel on the window sill
The broken angel in your bed
Pray, you let me take your head
And gaze into the eyes that bore
Me from the life of filthy wh*re-
filled nightmares
And so you'll catch them unawares
As we slip into midnight
On broken wings take flight
A sky of ten thousand sparkling lights
Pray, not for me
For you
If this is all I can do
