The Antoinette

is there comfort
is there safety
is there shelter by your side
or is your love just a smokescreen
too thin for me to hide behind?
in your eyes i see myself
you just reflect all my failures
in your hands i see the rope
as you beckon slowly to me
is there triumph
is there purpose
is there a future left here for me
all alone i ask the darkness
as it stares right back into me
in your eyes i see myself
someone i can’t fucking live with
in my hands i feel the rope
before it tie it oh so tightly
so i caress the rope that’s wrapped around my neck
as my body hangs over the fucking abyss
cause if that rope should snap, i know what happens next
i’m gonna fall forever…
