Holding my body like a lantern
You can have it all
The veil you removed
Keeping me alive
A lifeline you shuttered off
Swing me back and forth
Dangling from your hand
A beacon you call your own
Draining me
Endlessly
Just don't drop me
I'll bring you where you want
Just keep me safe
I'll give you what you want
The sharp sting of your smile shows me
Truth was never your goal
But what if it was
It would've taken you so far
But you left me to dangle
A lighthouse lost in the desert
