Peeling back the layers, you're dissecting all I am.
Piercing eyes, a stare that makes me uncomfortable.
Burning holes in my soul, your gaze is unforgettable.
You don't know me at all.
I wreck myself before I fall.
I can't see any hope at all.
I can't seem to help myself at all.
But I don't care anymore.
And I don't want to lose it all.
I'm building up my walls, to protect myself from my downfall.
Each and every time I hear your call.
I crawl through the darkness, escaping this haunting thrall.
I've ripped out my heart and watched it slowly fall.
****
Into the deepest dark,
With eyes fixed on a different world,
I've been scared from the start.
To give you my heart.
