I've got a thought that's scratching and digging away,
But now I think I want it to stay.
As you pull us closer it's clear to me
This is no longer fantasy.
Not much time's past, is it too soon?
Well I don't care, let's go.
This transition's tacking hold,
And it feels better, oh no.
Beauty and self-destruction,
Were wrapped around the whisper of your name
Riddled with expectation,
Well either way, it won't be the same.
Scared of what will happen if this should break,
But it's a risk that I've got to take.
I can't bare to hurt her but when this comes out,
Her world will crumble, there's no doubt.
But I can't keep on playing it safe.
Nothing happens that way.
Haven't felt like this for so long.
The veil's been lifted today.
Beauty and self-destruction,
Were wrapped around the whisper of your name
Riddled with expectation,
Well either way, it won't be the same.
Beauty and self-destruction,
Were wrapped around the whisper of your name
Riddled with expectation,
Well either way, it won't be the same.
A thousand flies swarm around the bodies.
I think this time, I might just be one of them.
I pick at the flesh. Selfish sustenance.
We found each other with ease.
Beauty and self-destruction,
Were wrapped around the whisper of your name
Riddled with expectation,
Well either way, it won't be the same.
Beauty and self-destruction,
Were wrapped around the whisper of your name
Riddled with expectation,
Well either way, it won't be the same.

The Track and the Doubt

The track is clear and now finally,
There's nothing here to stop me,
From pushing on.
But what if at the end there's nothing left,
Just a bitter memory of who I was.
They're falling into place - my plans and my schemes,
I've set up perfectly.
But they've reappeared.
The spectres of worry and doubt.
They are forcing me to ask, "What if?"
A lavish scene, a wretched dream.
A fleeting flame, denied.
Then it all changed. The thoughts got real,
And there were no reasons to stop - frantic panic.
What if I should fail? I'm make-believe.
No one to blame but me.
No stop this doubt, there is no need.
I've got so much to come but right now, I'm just,
Looking past the truth again.
Inventing problems that aren't there.
Mirrors start to cloud when,
Relentless worries hold my stare.
You give me hope this can stop.
You give me hope I can stop.
The track is clear. There's only fear,
That I will take my next step and go wrong.
No stop this doubt. I will not flee,
From following the track before me, I'm just,
Looking past the truth again.
Inventing problems that aren't there.
Mirrors start to cloud when,
Relentless worries hold my stare.
You give me hope this can stop.
You give me hope I can stop.
