 written by Darius
Empty moonlight, heavy moon
Puts the sun to bed too soon
Hungry half truth overflows
Betrays the silver ring she chose
Encouraged kisses, teasing touch
Kills a thirst to yearn this much
A bliss abandoned, velvet trust
An open heart confused by lust
She didn't need me, I
Needed time to just hold on
And so she bleeds me dry
Cannot pretend that I'm that strong
In a fragile world
I have agile faith
And my fragile bones
Won't break in haste
So the serpentine girl
With the turpentine words
Won't light me up, won't burn me out
Not today
Loving lavished, a lover scorned
Petals red with blood from thorns
Careless promise, empty words
A smile conceals a graceful curse
Stolen whispers, jealous rain
Wet the lips of truth in vain
Straining anchor, a kiss denied
Builds a dam to hold her lies
She didn't need me, I
Needed time to just hold on
And so she bleeds me dry
Cannot pretend that I'm that strong
In a fragile world
I have agile faith
And my fragile bones
Won't break in haste
So the serpentine girl
With the turpentine words
Won't light me up, won't burn me out
Not today
It's a fragile world
And I have agile faith
Oh my fragile bones
Won't break in haste
So the serpentine girl
With the turpentine words
Won't light me up, won't burn me out
Not today
It's my saving grace
