Can't Make You Go

I can make you go but I can't make you stay
burn the witches to the ground this is a delicate beginning
be my flesh and bones go ahead and turn my day numb
before the lights come on whisper if this is what it was meant to be
the eyes lie but the crime and the penalty are the same 
fading colors that streak across my skin fairy tales exist but not here
~~~~~
once in a lifetime your story begins and your story ends
precious moments struggle to find a way out pray for your sins
the sky might fall run from this by my side without regret
drunk with air smoke like milk begin to live this chapter unseen
dream lover of the alien in the city you promised me to be here
beware of the secret stare nothing is as it seems to be
~~~~~
sing me a ballad as I'm slowly dying small effort little hope
it was nice to meet you on the edge of this unfamiliar world
words fell out through my lips naked in your mind thrown to the wind
thoughts never wrong become secrets always hidden new age begins 
tell me a secret to break my addiction at the time you were innocent
when the voices tell you to go let the memories make your choice
