The image of loss is pretty in your eyes

Such a beautiful, petty criminal

Facing the hangman for pitiable crimes

I lay my head down at night

Fathoming the the darkness of your life

Pray I dwell upon the light

The last of dying embers

Unloving and unwhole

Signal for somone to catch you

To keep you warm and close

They won't ever know

You have to lie and deceive

In your heart-bound cage

For your soul to breathe

Heaven doesn't need your pitiful crimes

And you won't ever know

How pretty you make loss look

In such sorrowful eyes
