Madeline

She was the whisper in my dreams
Cradled comfort 'neath her wings
And in my darkest hour, we'll set the world on fire

All the things I longed to be
She sees nothing more than me
Oh, won't you stay a while?
Let's memorize our smiles

She rides the wind that blows my mind
Entwined across the velvet sky
Escape from reason, lost in rhyme
I'll hide behind and
I'll be damned if heaven's crashing down on me
My darling, Madeline

Chasing rainbows all my life
Goals in pots of gold that I may never come to find
Left far beyond my time

Though some wishes won't come true
I can't give mine up for you
And while she wonders why
Her one will pass her by

This chain of choices that I've made
In solitude, I'll seal my fate
I've signed my soul away to take my judgment holiday

They say that heaven sings no hymns for me
So, sorry, Madeline
When no longer she could wait
Golden braids began to fray
Angels took her breath away

Poison cuts and butterfly
Placing pennies on her eyes
By the sea, her lily lies

But for her light, I wouldn't trade
This purgatory price she paid
To sail down crimson lakes
On bracelets made from razor blades
Through holes in heaven calling out to me
Final answer when I lay me down to sleep
Beside my Madeline
