Hellbent To Never Let The Other Go

Eyes black as coal.
What is it about me
that makes you feel safe?

I'm not your superhero
still you get comfortable
under my cape.

You look like a child
with his favourite blanket.
Innocence doesn't exist
you're like a delicacy in a banquet-
this world will eat you alive.

Freedom is what you crave.
But I'm okay living in this cave.

Don't try to drag me outside.
One day you'll get us killed
and the only thing left for you
is your pride.

Hear the cavalry drum.
Downfall of kingdom come.

Hear the enemies' cheer.
My heart monitor shows a flat line.
Last words I hear is the doctor say 'clear!'
you won't lose me this time.

I've stayed strong for too long.
Why won't you let me die?!

Use all my strength
to slap you across the face.
They're closing in
you can't conquer them all!
There's no time to waste!

Don't you hear the cavalry drum?
This is the downfall of our kingdom come.

The flag changes colours.
My red lipstick
and the blood on your lips
smothers.
Your castle of stained glass
shatters.
You lost everything that matters.
At least we still have each other,
yet you want who's responsible's head
on a silver platter.

Ease the beast inside.
Can't afford rage to cloud your mind.

Cry yourself to sleep into my lap.
You're making it seem
like our hiding place
is a trap.

Never have I ever
thought I'd be comforting
His Majesty.
My feelings were locked up
until I reluctantly gave him the key.

Hum to the cavalry drum.
Downfall of our kingdom come.

Listen to his heartbeat drum.
He is my kingdom come.
