my lyrics, ~YOU AND YOU ALONE~ (songs, Hang)

[FistfulOfSky]

~You and You Alone~

the blade sliced through my heart.
it inflamed the flesh
and sent me to the floor.
i lay in the dirt weeping for all i've lost.
i grasp the vine that bleeds a rich nectar.
it's traced with your blood.
i down you as my chaser
and use you as an excuse for love.
is this all you are?
is this what i've become?

(chorus)
because its you and you alone
that i use as my crutch
a shot to the head leaks blood to the floor
you try to fix me
but i know it ain't love
that's going to win this war

i need no pity nor isolation.
i served my time in that tower.
held down by its chains of desolation.
you flow through the gates with an angelic glow.
this is not what i was expecting.
this is not how the story goes...

(chorus)
because its you and you alone
that i use as my crutch
a shot to the head leaks blood to the floor
you try to fix me
but i know it ain't love
that's going to win this war

my grip tightens on your shoulders.
if i don't loosen my hold
you will drown
i'll take you down with me.
don't you think you should attempt a safe way out?
i won't let you be my safety raft.
because i am the anchor.
sea water fills my lungs.
you whisper...all i wanted was to hold her.
so i take the plunge, accept the watery grave.
the flesh wound still bleeding.
but it is you and you alone.
who was meant to be saved...

(chorus repeat 2x)
