Dark Clouds

A dark cloud rains over me, hangs as a mistletoe above my head Bleeding scars are revealed as I lay my heart upon the table My river runs dry for fear of being mocked though I've tried, I have fallen in love A dark cloud rains over me, hangs as a thief in the night above my head Deep cuts of my past are revealed as I lay bare my transgressions My river runs dry for fear of being mocked though I've tried, I can not stop, loving you I can't stop doing A dark cloud rains over me, hangs as your love does upon my heart Scabs of a once healing wound, peels to show it's damaged core for all worlds to see I stand astray and beacon your name My river runs dry for fear of being mocked though I've tried, I've noticed your visions of romance were cruel, and all along I played the fool A bright light bears above me, gleaming as the sun does on a beautiful day Bleeding scars are now healed, Peeling scabs are now covered. For slight perfection bears it's name upon my soul My river runs half for fear of being mocked though I've tried, and tried I have my love for you has begun to falter. The morning sun bears bright above me Your eyes once like midnight fireflies no longer light up the trenches where my heart lies My river, now overflowing, runs with no mocking though I've tried and tried I have I can now say HE WAS JUST A FIGMENT OF MY IMAGINATION.
