Taking Dawn

The black that bleeds the dreams she leaves
Are open veins that stain her sleeves
And now the lonely street’s her only friend tonight
But the lights are cold, the lies are old
And all she wants is to go home
She bites her lip and shuts her eyes
And sings herself a lullaby
Take me away
Hold on tight and kiss the night, there’s nothing left to say
Take me away
Open wide and whisper, I can almost hear her say
She loves the rush, she loves the thrill
She loves the hunt, she loves the kill
Deep inside she knows it’s her who dies each time
But the lights are cold, the lies are old
And all she wants is to go home
She bites her lip and shuts her eyes
And sings herself a lullaby
