The Unguided

Another angel falls!
Another angel falls from the skies,
Smashes to the ground
In a whirlwind of white feathers.
Another demon claws his way to the surface,
Spreads his black wings
As he lusts for more blood.
Something expendable was all I craved
To fill a hole in my soul,
And I found that in you!
You were up against a Russian roulette
With all chambers loaded.
EVERYTHING BURNS IF YOU APPLY ENOUGH HEAT,
EVERYONE YEARNS PARTED FROM THEIR DESIRE.
YOUR INNOCENCE WAS NEVER AN EXCUSE,
THAT DREAM WAS YOURS AND NEVER MINE.
A misplaced step got me in debt,
It's a debt I can't repay
Even with all the money in this world.
Caught in an impending doom,
Too late to repent.
I'll run and hide in my castle of cards.
I don't fear to go slow,
Just to stand still,
Shun the sniper marks and barricade the gate.
My only protection is other people's,
People's silence.
EVERYTHING BURNS IF YOU APPLY ENOUGH HEAT,
EVERYONE YEARNS PARTED FROM THEIR DESIRE.
