Can't Save You Now

You were once flawless and made from ivory,
The perfection of your skin has kept the ugliness away,
But in your sweet perfection, your innocence...
The darkness that surrounds you, stayed.
Archangels battled through the emptiness
And gave their breath to let you live your life,
Alone in your room, you scribble beauty
And lock it up inside this safe of yours.
Every shield around you has a purpose,
You'd give your blood to keep them all away
But even for the ones that give their lives,
You falter in your innocence, my dear.
You were once sculpted from perfection's soul....
A pedestal so high had been your home forever...
But it makes me wonder, love, are you okay
With being so forgotten, like the ancient gods?
The inside joke shattered, the emptiness is suffocating
And yet, we fight too hard to keep everything the facade.

Too high up in this tower, too locked away inside yourself...
And I tried, I did, I gave my all...
But honey, I can't save you now.
