Play the tune of a Mockingbird
I have walked away from love
It’s cold reaching hand
Falls behind
Pictures strewn
Across this ravaged waste
Telling tales
Of something
That will never be
I have walked away
From your cold eyes
Your hands
Rough and burning
Leaving me a bloody mess
I opened up your mind
The second to touch you
I taught you how to fly
You broke my heart
While riding the wind
I led you to
Nothing can be the same
No-one denies
The connection
But you ran
From the love I gave
Ran into false promises
Glittering jewels
And empty loves
I ran
Trying to escape reality
The words you said
Haunting my every step
My love
That was free
But you turned away
Said love was nothing
Live for now
So I changed my tune
Became a mocking bird
And flew
Into your trap
Made with my own net
Woven with my care
Placed with you cunning
I drank from your cup
But all I have is a bitter aftertaste
And daemons chasing memory
With what could have been
Such a line
Between love and obsession
Between hate and pain
Chip by chip
My heart
Has been torn apart
I’ve been living
On borrowed time
For many many years
It’s cold reaching hand
Falls behind
Pictures strewn
Across this ravaged waste
Telling tales
Of something
That will never be
I have walked away
From your cold eyes
Your hands
Rough and burning
Leaving me a bloody mess
I opened up your mind
The second to touch you
I taught you how to fly
You broke my heart
While riding the wind
I led you to
Nothing can be the same
No-one denies
The connection
But you ran
From the love I gave
Ran into false promises
Glittering jewels
And empty loves
I ran
Trying to escape reality
The words you said
Haunting my every step
My love
That was free
But you turned away
Said love was nothing
Live for now
So I changed my tune
Became a mocking bird
And flew
Into your trap
Made with my own net
Woven with my care
Placed with you cunning
I drank from your cup
But all I have is a bitter aftertaste
And daemons chasing memory
With what could have been
Such a line
Between love and obsession
Between hate and pain
Chip by chip
My heart
Has been torn apart
I’ve been living
On borrowed time
For many many years
