Work Text:

it was always going to end this way.
since the moment we locked eyes, I knew:
I would follow you anywhere.  
thoughts of death cannot confine me when I know
the sun
rises, and my fears calm, fading with
the darkness. with your hand in mine, the chaos around us
fades from view. so hold me now, and together we will walk into
this cause we must see through. i can hardly breathe when your light
draws near, and i am swept into the current of
your certainty. i dream that day of freedom and of peace
is our own doing. defenseless in the rapids, i seek solace in
your words. the rushing tide from broken dams
carves rivers through my heart, but the truth is clear in
your eyes. and all you say
is like looking into
the mirror
is like looking into
your eyes. and all you say
carves rivers through my heart, but the truth is clear in
your words. the rushing tide from broken dams
is our own doing. defenseless in the rapids, i seek solace in
your certainty. i dream that day of freedom and of peace
draws near, and i am swept into the current of
this cause we must see through. i can hardly breathe when your light
fades from view. so hold me now, and together we will walk into
the darkness. with your hand in mine, the chaos around us
rises, and my fears calm, fading with
the sun.
thoughts of death cannot confine me when I know
I would follow you anywhere.
since the moment we locked eyes, I knew:
it was always going to end this way.
