nothing loved is ever lost

you promised me a new world
so take me away to that perfect place you describe
you are my release from this insanity
the button pressed to let the blood drip down my arm
fire burns all around me
you’ve released the water
but unless you rescue me
from the burning world
and take me away
i’ll die screaming silently
wrapping strong arms around me
and scaring away my monsters
doesn’t make me trust you more
there are some things i can’t forget
some things i just refuse to let go
penny on the tracks
and watching those who can’t see us
i am invisible in your world
i am a queen in your new world
i don’t want the crown you offer
i just want the love you fake
if i can’t find reality
i’ll take illusion to save me
an imaginary kiss in your car
before you pull out and leave me
an imaginary star burns out
and the world’s facade remain
there are few things to be relived
first kiss
pure trusting love
making love for the first time
losing your baby teeth
losing your faith
removing rose-colored glasses
i will cry and fall apart
over again
you say it makes me stronger
but if i was strong
i wouldn’t fall apart
next time i see the world
my rose-colored glasses will break
and i will see the truth
there is no life that won’t die
there is no love i won’t lose
they call me cynical
i call them diluded
facades built up around them
to protect them
keep them safe
what happens when betrayal comes
and the inner circle is broken
will it shatter in a million pieces
from hate and anger
or will time wear at the bonds
slip them apart silently in the night
even music supports our gold-filled fantasy
nothing in this world is forever
the world is built on the principle
that death follows life
hate follows love
betrayal follows promises
you live in life
with love and promises
i died in hate and betrayal
its a line i crossed
pushed over the edge into the stark world
where nothing loved is ever lost
and pain is inescapable
