Guiding Lights

I refuse no rivers

It's a revelation that I discovered

I'll follow your many guiding lights

And tear away through your love

I'll follow your many guiding lights

And now I tell you

To follow me under, far below

The deeper the secrets, far below

I'm pulling you under, far below

The deeper the secrets, marry every lie we told

Hidden by a shadow cast by the street lights

Black walls are closing in fast tonight

I'm abandoning all my thoughts and hiding here

By the firelight in a mother's open arms

But you know it's never over when the pain begins to come

When everything around you falls apart and comes undone

And you fail to take back what you've done

Now the tears start to fall and panic brings me to my knees

You choke me on the floor and grip my neck so I can't breathe

Just take a bow and then you make my body

Hollow, hollow, hollow

You know my name

You know my fate

Take my shame, my shame

Take my pain

Wash away the blame

Follow me down, follow me down, follow me down

Down to solid ground

There's a presence around you as the colors start to blur

To have a passion for painting letters and comprehending words

Be prepared to understand it's not the world at fault

And there will always be somebody to catch you when you fall

Show me how to live

Teach me how to tolerate

Encourage me to give

Empower me to love and celebrate

I'll follow your many guiding lights

And tear away through your love

I'll follow your many guiding lights

And now I tell you

To follow me under, far below

The deeper the secrets, far below

I'm pulling you under, far below

The deeper the secrets, binding both the worlds we know

Follow
