Why do tragedies attract me so?
I shall never know
I shall never know why
I find it easier to pry
Into the darkest corners of one's skin
Making the person and me akin
Akin in thought, akin in sleep
Akin in the way our secrets we keep
Yes, I know, the bright parts lurk around the dark
But it's the tragedy that makes its mark
I'm always in love with a fatal flaw
An undoing, the last straw
It's almost like I'm friends with the pain
That the other one brought when they came
The scars, the wounds, the holes
They're the ones who play the roles
Of all my lovers, of all my sins
Of infiltrating this mind of tin
The sunshine? The good?
They never seem to detect the mood
They seem like big old facades
Desperate attempts to not show the cards
Those cards that life dealt you with all along
The ones that truly spill from your songs
From your lips and your eyes
From the deepest truths of your abyss
Tragedies are wasted on others
But you're not like another
You're a result of all your glory
The shine, the breeze, the nightmares and the gory
You're breathtakingly real
Every part of your story is in your tears
So don't worry
You're my tragedy
My song of pain, and salvation
The only one for me in all of creation
I'm very hollow inside
In the grays and blacks I reside
Come, I welcome you into my paradise
You'll find feelings here of all of your size
We're not meant to be the stars, my love
We're not meant to be the moon or the sun
We are the black of ink
The most crucial link
We make these stars shine
We make the moon sublime
We dissolve in the background, motionless
We stay quiet, emotionless
Our dances are not popular ones
Our songs are not what everyone has sung
Ours is just our world
Tragedies and scars are the stories we're told
Come, come let me take you to the greatest show
We're the time that make all love grow
Come, and live again
Believe again, and try again
Because I love tragedies
And you're the only one that remains
