Friend

I'd ask a billion questions, and then a billion more,
If it means you'd answer me and pacify my fears...
I fought as hard to stay as I have fought to go
And now that here I am, I'm fighting this alone.
You're like the steady heartbeat beneath by crooked bones,
You're like the constant ticking inside the strangest dreams..
And the more I struggle, the more I fight the fall,
The harder I collapse and then I fall some more.
I'd pause the time in place and stare at your bruised soul
Because I see it all, despite you thinking 'no',
And I don't have to answer the million little things
Because you're always tugging at my bloody wings.
I'd ask a bunch of questions about our origin,
And tell you all my fears that the dark would win,
I would tell you every demon I have ever killed
If it meant you knew you'd have a friend in me.
