give me the truth

give me the truth

and nothing but the truth

for it shall shatter me

as i am unprepared to see

which of your horror resides in me

give me truth

break my mind and break my stride

give me eyes

to see and to close

as i am unprepared

unprepared 

to see

what horrors of you

reside in me

give me darkness

to blot out the sun

blotting out stars

uncharted maps

unbenign

a creeping cold

unbecoming of old

old soul, old world

take all light for it’d begun in darkness

blotted stars on plotted maps

course taken

horizon forsaken

give

be my giver

to forgive

so i can be a forgiver

as long as i don't live the lie

dished out by me

for you and me to see

take from me to give

give me reason to take

make me a believer

believe in myself

when i say

-----

you are my perfect star
