Event Horizon

This heart is bursting but the pain will come to pass
A shiny needle, just another shard of glass
The scent of old blood from this cut upon your hand
This river breaks its banks and flows across the land

Forever falling into the nothingness of you
Alive but dead inside
Forever lost upon the frozen point of view
Alive but dead inside

And I am sailing over the edge again
Raging into the night
This gravity will pull me down
Into your arms
The lights go out
I start to drown

It grows between us and it smothers our desires
Inexorably, like the phoenix from the pyre
Ascends on flaming wing to usher in rebirth
Yet stillborn embers are the sum of all our worth

Forever falling into the nothingness of you
Alive but dead inside
Forever lost upon the frozen point of view
Alive but dead inside

And I am sailing over the edge again
Raging into the night
This gravity will pull me down
Into your arms
The lights go out
I start to drown
