One-sided stories of playthings and

Piano strings and everything which in

The heart stings



Like trying to sing while hysterically weeping

Franticly trying to seal the cracks through

Which all things are leaking



The fairy tale slowly fades to black

My conscience screams to me a warning

Don't look back



There's a sting in your heart

And if it feels like me

I hope you feel it forever

That you may always remember



Dare I still feel with all of my heart

Am I the last of my kind

The fool for whom this lesson goes unlearned

Those who attempt to touch fire get burned



May this sting in your heart

Live as long as you do

A painful reminder

Of all that we've been through



An pluckable thorn resting in the side

A promise, an oath to through all things abide
