I Never Knew You
Fall on your knees (everyone)
I never knew you
Until now.
I had just heard
That you were just a figment
I had no intent
To fall madly in love.
Light some candles
And I’ll follow you into the night
Through forest and underbrush
So I can scream and lie silently
Soaking up rays.
Black hearts soak up light.
