At days end this journey begins, alone now here are we two.
Looking to each other, for something simple, shiny, and new
Want as deep as the night, gilded in silver and black.
Hoping to find together, separate that which we lack

So lounge in your darkest of passions, savor your sweetest desire
Share them now and come with me, dancing into the fire.
Sway now my lovely companion, join me here in the flame.
Leave your world far behind you, abandon worry and shame.
As love and lust struck together, forged in a furnace of need.
With friendship to hold them...

A Tempest came, and while I slept, it eagerly destroyed
the illusions that had held me fast, showing me the void
An emptiness I didnt know, had crept within me deep
the deluge rightly exposed what I had neglected in my sleep
Careworn timbers that once right and true would have kept the maelstrom at bay
buckled once tested easily, dry rotted, and weakened with decay
with tearstained eyes, I look upon the the wreckage, I had once adored
and realize that, with quite some work, it must be now restored
with heavy heart I know new beams must be hewn and shorn
and...

Sleep with me now, even though we’re apart,
Distance means nothing to the open heart.
So dream with me now, you in your bed,
Even though I’m away, thoughts of you fill my head.

At this new beginning what will we be?
Will you stay in your cage, or set yourself free?
What will it become, this shiny new pearl?
Like the bud of a rose, we watch it gently unfurl.

So, come join me now, by Morpheus’ Throne
Let go of your fear, and banish alone.
Make her tremble before you, show her, her place
Tell her now, not to lift up her face.

For...

With a kiss and promise true
You swore to me and I to you
Veil and dress of abalone
You said I’d never be alone.

This house we made bustles with noise
Shouts and laughs of life and its joys
Amidst this all my heart of stone  
Why do I feel so all alone?

Even here with the life we made
I thought our love would give us shade
It’s heartbreak though, that I do own
How could you leave me all alone?

You give so much to those outside
But from me you run and hide
In your actions your heart is shown
Even with...
