Fruits of Consequence

[sinister_pixie0]

I crossed my fingers and took a deep breath
Walking a tight rope between
Love
and
Certain death...

One morning you'll wake up
To find me gone-

Gone to feed the hunger,
Gone to hunt tigers;
Fireflies that seduce
Thirsty hearts

I'll never know just what
I've done to you-

Because we are still strangers
When you open your wounds

I'll be the demon
If you'll be the martyr

I'll gladly fall victim to
The Son and the Father

Just tell yourself
I never had you
As I pin your wings
To the heart of the matter

One morning you'll wake up
And find me gone-

Gone to deliver myself
From the sadness
Gone to discover what's
Beyond your mattress...
