***Two-Faced***

Wasted my throne in everyday throes
and I've burned the Eden and his ashes were thrown.
From a mere boy you showed me how to grow
When fools were mistaken for men.. 
When they thought a beard and a gun
were the signs of a man..
they never realised how well the morals had been torn.

Mon Chéri please beware,
with that rose on your head
there's still a few thorns left in your mind.

All men may be different shades,
but still at the end of the day
we're all just the same graying kind.

Don't you dare come back to me,
Tell the others that im a liar. 
Oh, Tell the others that im a thief.

Remember the times
You Burned down our hopes and dreams
By the lips of another
When you said you're in love with me?
Well the words have bled and so have I
Just remember to bury me
with my books when I die..

Yeah we're too young to be acting this old
Even if we were ever together again
and I would do everything right.....
But you just wont ever forget when I don't..
The train has left us behind
We're running out of time
You're all that I have.
Well, You're all that I had in mind..

Don't stare into my burning love
You'll be blinded by the light
Melt your white wings straight to black.....

My muse turned into Icarus
and she drowned In her own cage
Oh, its the sense of humour you lack.. 

Now I treat you like a stranger
and strangers the way I loved you
it's you're fault for everything I do..

You said you wanted to be an actress..
Did you think this was an audition?
Oh, you and your exquisite theatrics.
Doesn't this shadow suit me well?
At least you cant see my face when
when I pretend that im not in hell..
Oh lord, hear my prayer.. 
I think I'll be way better off down there..

My darling, what have you done to us?
I looked away and the feelings turned to dust
thank you for showing the truth to me
faith like steel could always start to rust, you see? 
I gave you my prettiest words
as a bouquet of poems to you,
But I guess, just like every other rose
My words perhaps withered too..
