FRAGILE - written by Darius

Empty moonlight, heavy moon

Puts the sun to bed too soon

Hungry half truth overflows

Betrays the silver ring she chose

Encouraged kisses, teasing touch

Kills a thirst to yearn this much

A bliss abandoned, velvet trust

An open heart confused by lust

She didn't need me, I

Needed time to just hold on

And so she bleeds me dry

Cannot pretend that I'm that strong

In a fragile world

I have agile faith

And my fragile bones

Won't break in haste

So the serpentine girl

With the turpentine words

Won't light me up, won't burn me out

Not today

Loving lavished, a lover scorned

Petals red with blood from thorns

Careless promise, empty words

A smile conceals a graceful curse

Stolen whispers, jealous rain

Wet the lips of truth in vain

Straining anchor, a kiss denied

Builds a dam to hold her lies

She didn't need me, I

Needed time to just hold on

And so she bleeds me dry

Cannot pretend that I'm that strong

In a fragile world

I have agile faith

And my fragile bones

Won't break in haste

So the serpentine girl

With the turpentine words

Won't light me up, won't burn me out

Not today

It's a fragile world

And I have agile faith

Oh my fragile bones

Won't break in haste

So the serpentine girl

With the turpentine words

Won't light me up, won't burn me out

Not today

It's my saving grace

It's my fading grace
