Light it up

The laughter in your eyes
Lights up the room
And I bathe in the shine from your soul
Trying to mask the rotting and decaying
Of my broken heart behind your perfect row of teeth
Make me a better person
Heal me from the inside
I am tired of shivering from the cold within
Smile unto me and I will try to smile back
Please, chase these shadows away

Laying on the floor in a naked heap
Of what is left of these tattered and torn
Skin and bones
My blood doesn't really flow anymore
Light me up on the inside
Boil my blood with brightness of your core
You meet my eyes
Pure pleading and begging
On my behalf
Teach me how to feel
That smile I mimic from here in the shade

Light it up, set my everything on fire
Bleed passion into
These rusty veins
So that I may stand on my own two feet again
Light it up, set my everything on fire
Breathe life into the dead
Bring me back down from this edge
All the nothingness I am now
I give it all because that is all I have to give to you
Don’t worry that I am fragile
There is nothing left to break
It is safe...
Just light it up, set my everything on fire
