Iridescent Wings

We're caught in a whirlwind
I fall off the deep end
You know it hurts me to hold on
You've sunk your teeth in
And I'm only pleading

It's how the story ends that 
We've been writing way too long

Your iridescent wings
They cut like crystal sins in the light
But I can't escape you
I won't erase you
I'm intertwined

And though you drag my name
My body enters an altered state
Dissolved, defenseless in your gaze
A weakened aura anyway

We're caught in a whirlwind
I fall off the deep end
You know it hurts me to hold on
You've sunk your teeth in
And I'm only pleading
Let me go

But you tear away
At my fragile place
You tear away
My remaining strength

It's how the story ends that 
we've been writing way too long

You make me your prisoner
A captive heart strung out on a line
Yet I cannot hate you
I long to embrace you
I'm hypnotized

We're caught in a whirlwind
I fall off the deep end
You know it hurts me to hold on
You've sunk your teeth in
And I'm only pleading
Let me go

But you tear away
At my fragile place
You tear away
My remaining strength
And did you imagine you'd be
The one who brought that pain to me
And you took all I had to lose
All that would keep me safe

We're caught in a whirlwind
I fall off the deep end
You know it hurts me to hold on
You've sunk your teeth in
And I'm only pleading
Let me go

That we've been writing way too long

But you tear away
At my fragile place
You tear away
My remaining strength
And did you imagine you'd be
The one who brought that pain to me
And you took all I had to lose
All that would keep me safe
(All that would keep me safe)
(All that would keep me safe)

(All that would keep me)
