I want to kiss your soul
And tell it sweet goodnight
For the scars we lay upon us
Fade fast in moving tide

What wandering did we do
From here to there till now
To schism our great bind
As we wish the rain goodbye

Do you hear the city streets
Ghastly echoes calling bright
The neon light facade
Drapes on an empty stage tonight

I feel a dwindling fire
I hold it close and dear
My blanket is torn from me
I’m unsafe and struck in fear

Where is my gentle net
My lighthouse in the vines
The phone booth sputters
As blood trickles from my eyes

Now my magician is only here
In dreams, visions,
And big signs in the sky
He is just barely keeping himself by

The moon lights up the stars tonight
The rocks, but also you and I
We gaze upon the same bright night
But from different seas of changing times

I'm almost positive I heard them talking

Talking in their protective, yet complaining manner

They say, they only get to interact with the weak

They say, they're all too often held responsible for the bond between others

What's the matter with them?

They're the ones full of chemistry

They're the ones who can escape scott free

While I have to stay inside and act positive about it

Just once I'd like to not be in the middle of everything

walking on eggshells in that lonesome house
your mood was capricious
I was scared of you and your anger
one moment you were fine and agreeable
then if I said the wrong thing
you would fly into a fit of rage
I never knew what was the right thing
or wrong thing to say
anything could set you off
and I was your victim
it was always me
you hated for some reason
no longer do I live with you
and your capricious mood
