you ask me in the dark

if I can see the way

I tell you in the light

it's all just shades of gray



( rap )

you ask me hold you tight

to hold you through the night

when the sun is coming 'round

you'll look but I won't be found

you'll reach but you won't grab

you need something to stab

you draw the blood from ( out of ) me

I'll bleed but my blood won't creep



I'll be your poison apple

I'll be your secret love

I'll hold you from reality

I'll be your black dove



I'll keep you safe from thinking

I'll keep you for another

'till you awaken from your dream

of us falling for each other



( rap )

clouds lift from your head

they fall to what I've said

walking, walking down the isle

kissed by a pedaphile

I held your ( young ) body in my hands

you ran away like grains of sand

I left your memory there to die

and I say "nothing more than you am I"



( solo )

don't run away

I'd destroy myself for you

don't tell yourself lies

when you know I'll hear them too

together it was to right to be right

fire's all around

I hand you my pain and hurt

you never made a sound

you were but a child

loving me?

love was for me

love is for thee,

her small feet in the dirt;

love will make the night bright

for you and yours

and when my blood spills,

hide your face

from my dark shores



oh, he's a pedaphile

oh, he's a pedaphile

they'll say

he's a pedaphile
