All I have

 

You're all I have

And all I need

Don't make me behave

Just make me bleed

Bleed with a wound

Conjured from a scream

Made perfectly tuned

And carved from a dream

Wholly burn me through

With this undying love

Beat me black and blue

Release my white dove

Spread my wings

Let my screams soar

Think of all the little things

And steal me back to the floor
