I Don't Want to Hurt You
The rain feels colder now
The plague has left this town i'll heal you
I'll heal you the red and poisoned sea
Calls to the hate in me i'll break you
I'll break you headstrong for the comedown
Mind heavy with a faint sound i'll hear you
In your prayers tonight
Bastion of the white lie
Heads turning with a blind eye i'll see you
In the candlelight
I don't want to hurt you
But I can't stay away
I don't have the strength to know
Myself and keep you safe
So wherever you are now
I hope you will forget
The flaws I had before because
I haven't lost them yet
The devil's fever dream
Holds the most cursed fiends i know this
Symptom only mine in crimson memories
The watcher always sees the fallout
That I leave behind
Burned palms of the wasteland
Floods rise to the blood on my hands
And I want to forget you
Or take you far away safety for when I fail
World's gone with the last death knell
The distance i could never stay
I don't want to hurt you
But I can't stay away
I don't have the strength to know
Myself and keep you safe
So wherever you are now
I hope you will forget
The flaws I had before because
I haven't lost them yet
Somebody's gonna get hurt
In the wake of my emotions
In this bottomless sky
In all your memories, I
Am a distant ghost behind you
Through the veil of my lies
I could pretend that I'm cut
But the truth is I can't feel it
Am I something less than real?
There is a part of me left
That remembers how to love you
And the memories heal
My spirit in the darkness
Is in a prison I must know
To run to you, free
But I don't want to be free
Not really, not really not even in my dreams
I don't want to be free not really, oh
I don't want to be free not really
Not even in my dreams i don't want to be
I don't want to break free tonight
I'm safer in the dark
When I can't see in the light
I don't want to hurt you
But I can't stay away
I don't have the strength to know
Myself and keep you safe
So wherever you are now
I hope you will forget
The flaws I had before because
I haven't lost them yet
