Prince charming

Unlearning the hymn of love and it's power

Detached from my heart, hidden in a tower

 

Fast and slow, an ongoing catharsis

I stopped asking "Do you know what love is?"

 

I hum it slow, but I hum it deep

You might just come here and fall asleep

 

You won't hear me unless you're near 

It's a tower after all, pretty lonely and clear

 

I won't sing louder, or else they'll know

Who lives here and where did she go?

 

Your genius words, awaken my heart

I could sing if you stayed, but you set us apart

 

Now I can't pay the price of the gaze you bring

Don't look at me again, don't make me sing

 

I am interesting to you, perhaps not wrong

What are you anyway, the mirror or the song?
