Could I Stay The Honest One?

If your words
Lodged within me
Burning streamers
How could I stay The honest one
Harbouring these feelings
Engulfing me

Burn my memories
Your tears the ultimate
Beauty
So deceived by honesty

Similar needs, similar traits
A fear of being turned against
So hard to open
Desire… desire…
Lose this fear; reveal my heart to you

Remain in this house as the walls tumble down
My faith swirling round
My faith swirling round
Maybe this all reveals
Within each other
Have we found our spirit
