You
Breaking Benjamin
My hands are broken
And time is going on and on it goes
Forever
(How long?)
So I got high and
Lived on that life that I had taken all
For granted
Promise me you'll try
To leave it all behind
Cause I've elected hell
Lying to myself
Why have I gone blind?
Live another lie
You
You
The only way out
Is letting your guard down
And never die
Forgotten
(How long?)
Forgive me my love
I stand here all alone
And I can see
The bottom
Promise me you'll try
To leave it all behind
Cause I've elected hell
Lying to myself
Why have I gone blind?
Live another lie
You
You
You!
You!
He couldn't keep up, couldn't continue as Snape pressed him harder and harder to do so.
My hands are broken
But where was hope? He was their hope, and yet he felt none himself. Could hope feel hope?
And time is going on and on it goes
Things just wove on. Time moved without care or thought to the prisoners it carried.
Forever
Going and moving, on and on.
(How long?)
How long would he be locked in this tryst? How long until he was dead, or he had killed?
So I got high and
The smell of his blood and the sharp nicks across his skin.
Lived on that life that I had taken all
For granted
He lived for every minute of it, every second. But that did not make it more bearable.
Promise me you'll try
To leave it all behind
Severus Snape asked the impossible of him. "Forget we ever happened, Potter. Mistakes are to be learned from. This particular one is to be forgotten."
Cause I've elected hell
Lying to myself
Had he really thought there could be anything between them?
Why have I gone blind?
Live another lie
Even now he didn't know what was real and what was not.
You
He cursed the man bitterly.
You
Wanted him desperately.
The only way out
How would one escape this place?
Is letting your guard down
Open themselves wide open. The world would do the damage itself.
And never die
Just make sure to leave parting gifts—memories of your short, elated stay.
Forgotten
(How long?)
Forgive me my love
Forgive me, he thought, looking over the precipice that lingered at the fringe of his mind.
I stand here all alone
You left me, but I don't blame you. Who wouldn't, in your place?
And I can see
The bottom
Would he like to visit there?
Promise me you'll try
To leave it all behind
Leave me behind
Cause I've elected hell
Lying to myself
I thought I had left you behind
Why have I gone blind?
How am I to know if you have left me, if I cannot see?
Live another lie
Pretend your vision is perfectly fine. Your not here. Not here.
"I love you," addressed to the cold, bitter wind.
You
"I know." Imagined response, whispered in kin.
You
"I hate you," growled in the night.
You!
"As it should be, Potter." imagined it was not, that time.
You!
