Alesana - Not a Single Word About This Lyrics

I'd push you away but you are the only thing I know

I can't help believing in you... the idea of beauty leaves me enslaved
say you'll stay for tonight and I promise you this will be the last

I'd push you away but you are the only thing I know
at your feet I now lay for you are the only thing I know

I stare blindly into my reflection
a piece of me lost... I am terrified that I cannot breathe without you
I am nothing in my eyes if not lost
I can't see past your eyes, without them I would die
Shackles cut my wrists as I fight the chains
None can hold me

I'd push you away but you are the only thing I know
at your feet I now lay for you are the only thing I know

in a room where I once told you everything, I am alone
once beholden to nothing and no one
how is it that I am slave to these eyes which glisten with untold secrets
that I crave so wildly to understand?
I must steel my heart to your warm gaze
I'll claw out my eyes and see you no more
its because of you I sometimes wish that I would die
sometimes I wish I would die leaving you behind
enraptured by my ignorance, I now deserve sympathy
