Deceiver

While they were sleeping,
We both went walking through graveyard headstone slate.
Etching engravings,
Attaching faces to every single name.
And down the meadow,
The sun was blooming like blood does from a cut.
Casting our shadows,
We looked like spirits spread out across the lawn.
So if you're just a dreamer
Then I’ll be the realist, darling.
I’m a deceiver,
Take you too far then let go.
Say you believe love
But I’m a deceiver
I’ll tie us together with tethers then cut the rope.
You tell my fortune,
Trace every crease in my palm then kiss my hand,
Do you not notice?
My love line's broke like an old wedding band.
If you're just a dreamer
Then I’ll be the realist, darling.
I’m a deceiver,
Take you too far then let go.
Say you believe love
But I’m a deceiver, I’ll tie us together with tethers then cut the rope.
Spinning like spiders
You lace our fingers
Binding us tighter.
And in the darkness,
I pull the stitches.
Unhook the hinges...
If you're just a dreamer
Then I’ll be the realist, darling.
I’m a deceiver,
Take you too far then let go.
Say you believe love
But I’m a deceiver, I’ll tie us together with tethers then cut the rope.
