Pray You Take My Pain Away
Infected with what I want
 
 Injected with what they say
 
 Intrusted with my destiny
 
 Disgusted with all the ways
 
 I'm allowed to say I hate myself
 
 I'm allowed to say I am myself
 
 I'm allowed to say I hate them
 
 But not allowed to be them
 
 But I already am
 
 Infected with what I want
 
 Injected with these nightmares
 
 Stay away from me....you will come
 
 And catch them unawares
 
  
 
 Will you chase them away from me?
 
 And I'll sit with you until the dawn
 
 Will you break their wings for me?
 
 So that I'll be the one you lean upon
 
 When all is said and done
 
 And you are here beside me
 
 Will you let me treat your wounds?
 
 Please do not forget me
 
 You say I am your precious honey bee
 
 All I feel like is a stinger
 
 No wings, no color, not purpose in life
 
 A lonesome, loathesome singer
 
 Fit to hold you?  I think myself
 
 To be this one to you
 
 I'll bind your wounds and guide the moon
 
 To light your angelic face so that
 
 I can feel safe with you
 
 Pathetic
 
 Stingerless honey bee, hiding in your attic
 
 With cobwebs for hair and eyes that will stare
 
 Out at you, hour after hour after
 
 Ten past four
 
 In the morning, keeping you awake
 
 Until your breath I take in words that will
 
 Take me to the place where you will
 
 Be with me
 
 All for me
 
 Forever
 
 Jealously protected by the
 
 Zealously watching honey bee
 
 Infected with thoughts of you
 
 Injected with words of truth
 
 Protected by your lion-strength
 
 With not even the courtesy to thank
 
 Your willing heart
 
 Your stilling heart
 
 For if you die, what will I do?
 
 In the attic at five past two
 
 Cradling your head, too precioius to me
 
 A face to whom I was too scared to be
 
 Your precious little honey bee
 
 Still and cold, no more shall you
 
 Protect me from the things they do
 
 That make me want to fly away, too
 
 Into their world of infestation
 
 Degridation, Immorilation
 
 Devistation, Deprivation
 
 Damnation, Infatuation
 
 With things of dark and moonless knights
 
 Where shadows whisper of godless plights
 
 And the trees mourn the absence of
 
 You, the protector of
 
 The fightened little honey bee
 
 Alone and scared, pathetic
 
 In a cobweb-molested attic
 
 Where once laid the form
 
 Of the bane of evil's storm
 
 Should that be me
 
 And that be you
 
 I would not know what I would do
 
 Because...because I love you
 
 ...I think...
 
 Pray, you take no shame in remembering my name
 
 Pray, you take no fear in holding me so near
 
 Pray, you take my pain, and I'll hold you again
 
 Pray, don't push me away
 
 Pray for the sun, another day
 
 With you
 
 I'll take no shame in taking the blame
 
 For the wounds they inflict upon you
 
 Lean on me, your precious honey bee
 
 If I can be of any use to you
 
 Take me, make me what you will
 
 The cobweb angel on the window sill
 
 The broken angel in your bed
 
 Pray, you let me take your head
 
 And gaze into the eyes that bore
 
 Me from the life of filthy wh*re-
 
 filled nightmares
 
 And so you'll catch them unawares
 
 As we slip into midnight
 
 On broken wings take flight
 
 A sky of ten thousand sparkling lights
 
 Pray, not for me
 
 For you
 
 If this is all I can do
