Accomplice (via 2002)

 

Some songs are simplistic

They tend to run cliché

Merely echoing words of another

Repeating what they say

How do I attempt here

To put my thoughts out

Vulnerable and open without lie

To speak what my heart's about

 

It's easy to call a station

And have the radio play songs

But it's plagiarized emotion

To display where you belong

A reflection of light resembles

Lightning in your stark eyes

Dark iris times two more

Poetic than midnight skies

 

A lot to lose situation

If I advance too soon

But much to gain perhaps

If I could give you the moon

A present sealed with stars

Galaxies of passion encompassed

My heart I give to you

Asking that I be your accomplice
