His Devotee

you have a way with light
you make it long for you
soldier, and his devotee
the saddest light i've ever seen

you have a way with silence
beneith your pillow it lays, sleep
sqeezing the worn leather handle
a smile finds you, at midnight,
your mouth in sweet familiarity

i think
this time
you forget what's mightier than swords
i hold
the ace
and when it shows i'm killing you with words

you have an eye for the ill-fated
in the mirror you learn
you can't stand it, keep crying
keep turning scars into memorys
until the souls of sinners burn

don't look
it's me
as bright as the whitest light can be
my world
my rules
one swift erase away from an amputee
swift erase away....
swift erase away....

my world, my rules
my world, my rules
my world
my world, my rules

you have a way with light
(you have a way with light)
you make it long for you
(you make it long for you)
soldier, and his devotee
the saddest light i've ever seen
