Raven

There's always that one little flickering light in every dark house
Unfortunately I don't have that and it seems like I never did.
It's one of those things I seek everyday, but God forbid
The mistakes I made when I was just a kid
So I hid behind the rusty grid
And be ashamed of all the things I did

But I have you now so I don't need that fuckin' light
And I no longer need to live in that gagging fright
Every minute every second all I want is to hold you tight
But my body starts to shake because you're not here tonight
My head is spinning and I want us once again to reunite
In hope of it I sit and write
These sorrowful words in black and white

How many times do I have to break that wall of yours?
To make your heart and soul believe what I say
My head can't prevent from creating wars
While I sit near this empty bench and pray
That one day it will all go away and you're going to stay

If I could take it all away I'd do it
And I for one know I will never quit
By doing so I might just lose it
But there is peace and I will take you to it
I would never change the raven for a dove
When the raven is who I fell in love

I know you have that clump in your throat that you just can't swallow
That huge rock on your shoulders that makes you so hollow
And I can't help but follow
To help you up when you fall down so that you can live until tomorrow

Even thought my mouth is dry and my hands are weak
No matter what I'll help you find the things you seek
And every time you look at me like I'm some sort of freak
I would never leave your side even if my heart would leak
For a whole motherfuckin' week.

If I could take it all away I'd do it
And I for one know I will never quit
By doing so I might just lose it
But there is peace and I will take you to it
I would never change the raven for a dove
When the raven is who I fell in love

You know that I would give you everything I can
Be it love or life because tha't's where it all began
I fell in love with every single thing of you and ran
Towards you, like all along it was my plan
You and I in a forever span.

But now every day it seems like it was just one fuckin' dream
And everything I ever wanted went down the river stream
Maybe I was just a little scared and a tad extreme
But I rushed it all because I wanted that one little gleam

And I try to understand every single thing you do or say
I sit and wonder every single fuckin' day
If there is anything I could do to make your pain decay
And help you with all I can, for you to never fade the fuck away

If I could take it all away I'd do it
And I for one know I will never quit
By doing so I might just lose it
But there is peace and I will take you to it
I would never change the raven for a dove
When the raven is who I fell in love

I wish I could exchange my heart for yours.
To feel the pain you feel and open up your doors
To take it all away and put a smile on your face
And take you to that one peaceful place
I will keep my doors open for you just in case
Just know in my heart you will never be replaced
I will always be your safe haven
So tell me what you're craving
My one and only, my beautiful raven.
