Wings of Nightmares

I'm clinging to the wings of nightmares
 Detaching every finger one by one
 Shaken awake
 To find our absence hasn't manifested yet
 Longing for a sense of loss
 Picking me apart like birds of prey
 Where illusions will depart from unhinged jaws
 Silent in the presence of your name
 Rip the memory from my mind
 Perfectly still but somehow running out of time
 Keep your distance from the flowers that will decorate my corpse
 Undeserving of a chance to watch them thrive
 Remove the sickness before it has a chance to run its course
 I knew we'd never make it out alive
 Clairvoyant only to delusion
 As you salvage fantasy to fit your needs
 You held my lifeless body to your heart
 And convinced yourself that you could feel a pulse
 (Laying traps beneath my feet)
 (I will chew through to the bone in my desire to be free)
 Rip the memory from my mind
 Perfectly still but somehow running out of time
 Keep your distance from the flowers that will decorate my corpse
 Undeserving of a chance to watch them thrive
 Remove the sickness before it has a chance to run its course
 I knew we'd never make it out alive
 (I knew we'd never make it out alive)
 Your shadow will keep me
 Blinded by the light living in lies
 Allowing fallen petals to turn black
 Reflecting the colour of your insides
 Rip the memory from my mind
 Hold my lifeless body to your heart
 And convince yourself that you still feel a pulse
 Rip the memory from my mind
 Perfectly still
 But somehow running out of time
