Decay and Rust

I built a prison out of doubt

Chained by whispers I couldn't drown out

You were the stillness in my crimson rain

But still you stayed when I withdrew

Facing ghosts I swore were true

Yes you never flinched, never fell

While I was lost in my own hell

You stood like stone through every fear

As I broke mirrors tear by tear

You touched my soul and I turned away

Lost in the ruins I let decay

You whispered truth I couldn't hear

While I danced with the devil's fear

You gave me peace I gave you pain-

You are beauty death can't stain

I was the shadow you were the flame

Burning bright through all my shame

You never strayed, you never lied

But I let doubt become my guide

I feared your light and shut my eyes

And turned your truth into disguise

Still, you stayed while I fell apart

Loved me with a bleeding heart

Never left nor turned to blame

Even as I spoke your name in vain

You touched my soul and I turned away

Lost in the ruins, I let decay

You whispered truth I couldn't hear

While I danced with the devil's fear

You gave me peace, I gave you pain

You are beauty death can't stain

You spoke in light-I heard in fear

And twisted all you made so clear

I lost my grip on what we swore

But ache to feel that truth once more

And I see you now-

I am awake no more running, no more rewind

This nightmare is over

This nightmare is over

Let the past decay and rust
