Burned by your Love



Why are you able to melt all my icy walls?
Easily as if it were nothing
Like blowing sand away from my hands
You break down my walls and confines
Releasing me from my self-made darkness
With simple everyday words
Love - do you not know?
Do you know of all the endless nights I cried
Talking myself into letting you go
Building my estranged prison
Depraved of love
Surrounded by fear
Hiding my hands in my cold palms
So that I may not be burned
Burned by the sun - burned by your love
Then you appear
Like a phantom in the night
Like the sunrise at dawn
Casting your binding spell
I'm powerless in the face of your presence
You're pulling me down like gravity
Raising me up like a fantasy
Closer to the stars
Closer to the planets
Becoming one with the universe
Raising me closer to Paradise
