Leave With Me

God, do I hate my dreams... So much I hate my dreams...

The sun rises,
light exposing.
I hold you gently,
re-proposing.

Let me take you
Far away from here
I can lift us away
to where we have no fear.

What I’d do to sweep you up
And take you away from all your strife.

But you say no
A sad tear in your eye.
You’re afraid of being dropped
So together we can’t fly.

Why do you let him
Hurt you so dear?
our escape so impossible
But the means so near.

What I’d do to sweep you up
And take you away from all your strife.

Sun sets again
We lay apart
Knowing it will stay so
Breaks my heart.

But you insist, despite the bruises
he makes you happy, and he’ll take care of you.
And that’s all I can want, for you to smile
So, God, I hope it’s true.

What I’d do to sweep you up
And take you away from all your strife.

Sirens flash,
harsh light on your skin.
Saint I am not
But letting this happen was sin.

How could you trust him love?
Why not come away with me?
If we’d taken flight when we could have,
You would still be.

What I’d have done to sweep you up
And instead he ended your precious life…
