i get inside
my black dress
and take a look.
tonight
i can pretend.
tonight
i dont have to be
the same.
put makeup
under my eyes.
for you,
i can try.
for you,
my life can be fine.
ill make it so.
would i cry for you?
a million tears
ive cried.
would i die for you?
a million fears
inside
that ive hidden
because i didnt think
youd understand.
even when we were
hand in hand,
i knew you wouldnt
understand.
its midnight here.
how about there?
i know youll never
sleep
tonight.
slip on black shoes--
the kind you
cant ever walk in--
and stumble to
the door.
im sick of wishing
that you were here.
of remembering
how things were
a year
ago.
would i lie to you?
ive done it
before.
would i try for you?
i did.
now its my turn
again.
my
"time to dance."
will you be my
one last chance
at being in love?
my heart is broken
and bleeding
on the floor
like the stained glass windows
of a church.
lets run up the steps
and through the isles,
hand in hand.
shes coming for me.
dont let her get me
as we file
through these doors.
please.
dont let her get me.
i tripped up.
i slipped up.
and now were falling
and cracking our heads
on the stone
floors.
we're bleeding...
and we're laughing.
we're dying...
and we're laughing!
you know shell get us
even
in here--
in the steeple,
theres no way.
in hell we're safe.
gold candles flickering,
burning down
and down
these walls around us.
red and blue eyes crying.
tears
and fears
are all you can hear.
bloody handprints
on the walls.
a knife thrown
through the window.
you say we can make it.
we can still run--
in these shoes i cant walk in.
just leave me here.
i deserve to just
die.
would i die for you?
i will
and constantly am.
you say you wont leave.
you pick me up.
you lift me up
and try to run.
but well die
inevitably.
the shock is only setting in
for you.
we will be fine.
our drowsy eyes
will finally find sleep.
you say we cant go that easily.
BANG.
she opens the doors.
shes found us.
its over now.
BANG.
shes shot you--
silver bullets and all.
you drop dead
and drop me.
i am the one she wants.
would i die for you?
of course.
and all you can do now
is helplessly watch
in horror
as she places a hand
over your mouth
so the screams wont come out.
she kisses you.
she puts the mask
over my face.
her icy breath enveloping me.
and you can only watch
in horror
as blue eyes turn black.
youre next.
would you die for me?
too late
to answer.
red eyes turn brown.
yet, shes unsatisfied.
she needs more blood
to drink.
she picks up
the cup at the alter.
dips it in our
pool of blood.
and as it touches her lips,
she sees my image
staring back
with icy black eyes.
forever blank,
forever staring.
