I think you flew away one day

With a many-faced man from far away.

He promised me a star to hold to remember with

But it burned through me,

And there's a hole in my chest where my heart should be -

I think he took it with him,

Which is hardly fair; he doesn't need three.

You unlocked my soul with your song -

Now it's gone!

And you've taken it to the end of time,

Beyond a wall I can never pass,

A screen of red, green, blue,

That had caught me, sucked me in

Left me speechless (and, well, faceless) before you.

You opened up another dimension and carried me through

But now I'm standing here without you on the edge

Of the world, just waiting,

Brought by my blood, and the hand that mine cut down

For good this time, and you with it, all gone.

They say that as soon as you fall for someone,

They change

Into a completely different person...

Why did you always take me so literally?

You didn't mean it, did you? Someone else got to you first, didn't they?

Turned you against me, redesigned you,

Rewrote you.

Your story's on the shelf now and

I'd read it again and again - I tried, but

It's awfully dark in here among the books, and

The lights are going out...

Too dark to read in, even by your shining,

So I followed the halo of a lonely angel.

It turned to stone.

And you're telling me now, none of it was real?
