I Am Dangerous (you said)
I wandered in the wilderness
Of you
A thousand nights
Resting only in the heat of day
When I could feel your heartbeat racing
In arms that were not mine
Always a day's journey
From my reach
Always the word on the tip of my tongue
That I couldn't call forth
I'm dangerous, you said
With the conviction
Of a martyr
Said you couldn't contend
With my turning pages
Or turning heads
When I walked into a room
When you are the envy of Eden
The crucible of fallen angels
The anti-hero
With a savior complex
Who said I wasn't tragic enough
I'm dangerous, you said
But I'll be
The ashes in your lashes
When they've scattered me
And your tears won't come
In the spotlight
With your song
And your band of gold
You've made your point (of no return)
