    “Is it hell you see (When you close your eyes)”

    When you close your eyes is it hell you see
    All I can see is you,
    The brimstone slowly blazing in your eyes
    Feeling the anguish in your screams
    Keeping your secrets hidden deeper then the wounds
    I found on your lacerated heart beating softly in my hands

    When you take a breath is it evil you breathe
    All I can breathe is the love that lingers above
    Slowly turning stale from the bitterness in your voice
    Intoxicating our lungs with the lies sifting in the air
    Cutting out my heart with the promises shattered
    Through out my room when you said I was the only one

    Dance on hill tops in the Gallows
    With my heart hanging from the tallest tree
    Under which we used to lay and carved in our names
    It was Sarah Cloyce that stole my heart
    Try as a witch and burn her at the steaks
    Chase her through the streets with torches lighting the sky

    As you hang from the very tree where the angels once sang
    Our old song,
    I’ve forgotten the words but I still sing along with you
    Till my lungs are bleeding and are hearts stop beating
    Until you carry me off in the night
    When you close your eyes is it hell you see
    I’ll be there when you open them to stand by your side
