I want you,
and all of your darkness.
We'll float through the night - unseen.
We'd leave, and we'd hide,
and we'd paint good pictures of our bad sides.
Our skin pasty white, but our hearts are bursting red, and our eyes are bright.
I want you,
and all of your darkness.
A gun to my heart-
Where do I begin...
