Story Behind The Song
My biggest fears are spiders, needles, drowning, and falling in love. This is my ode to all of the above. At first love seemed that it could be sweet, but then I opened my eyes, and hence, the bittersweet majority and flatout angry third verse.

Lyrics
Verse 1:
Once I confessed to you and of you
that my heart was locked.
Straight-jacketed feelings
that I only have the key to that I
only possess.
Now I've lied when I tried to stay open
open and close and mine.
But cosmos says love's forecast
if I still dare see you then
I will love you.
Yes, I will love you.
Chorus:
Spiders and needles and drowning are visions
but you're handsome just the same.
GIve me a mirror,
just a piece
A dagger to slice the maze
but I will remember your gaze.
Verse 2:
Once I obsessed of you and for you
and my trust was gained.
Knives unsheathed spread a plague of pain
You give me no pain.
Chorus
Verse 3:
Now I've cried when I've tried
to convert to all or none
but then you give me some,
and I'm yours forever.
But my lips are still sealed
and I can't be healed
But I still see you
and now I love you.
