"Remain Constant" The curtain has been drawn And now the light is bleeding black The candles have been lit The flame has been rekindled And as I close my mind I slip into a stream of unconsciousness Where my thoughts are my own Created within the realm Where nothing can penetrate Not even the nails that are driven into my skull But when the crucifix is laid onto my back And my crown of thorns placed I feel the blood flow into my eyes As the candle dances across my face The essence of your soul lingers in my mind The light bleeds the red from my eyes As it slips through the cracks in the blinds The sound penetrates my ears And makes its way into my sleep I hear your voice inside As it wavers behind my eyes But when the curtains are opened again And the light pierces through the glass I feel myself return to me The way I feel was promised by your voice I remember the way I felt when I first saw you As I remove myself from unconsciousness My eyes open again for the first time And I see you in front of me Because you make me feel so high And you make me feel so real Sometimes you even make me cry Because in my world All I see is you I wish you were by my side I wish it was your hand in mine I wish it was your lips I could kiss I wish it was your eyes I could fall into I wish it was your hair that reminded me of a safe place I wish it was you So I’ll remain constant
