Scare Me To Death

I've seen the best

And the worst you can be

And all while you're getting

The better of me

You're fragile but wicked

And fleeting as breath

And you move up behind me

And scare me to death

You're fragile but wicked

And fleeting as breath

And you move up behind me

And scare me to death

At war between

All good intentions and greed

My love is the kind

Where want becomes need

Where lust takes the toll

Of a quick stolen breath

You stir within me

And scare me to death

Where lust takes the toll

Of a quick stolen breath

You stir within me

And scare me to death

A dose now

Of either heart or of mind

Can be lethal, it seems

If they're not combined

They show but contempt

When considered as two

And pretend that each

Is the other to you

Now you spit in your hands

And haul on the rope

And fill up my cup

With the worst kind of hope

You lift me with words

I haven't found yet

I fall like your shadow

And you scare me to death

You sleep here beside me

And scare me to death

You sleep here beside me

And you scare me to death
