lost in the night sky, I dwell within my passionate fortress
where none could intrude nor seek to overthrow
such love for shadows, so sweet, so serene
with no warning, the thought, the face crept in
just one revelation, one face
brings my stronghold to its knees
pillars crash down threatening such peaceful respite
now exposed, a keen eye would see
desire expressed in a metaphor
love never uttered, never to be seen
whilst the rubble is rebuilt from the ruins

*overlooking the night sky in a fortress of solitude

You painted yourself with every color
I may have loved black and white as much if not more
yet the ink was illegible between the lines

I never knew who resided in the picture
decimation claims the land that would be our future
with lies justified in anothers eyes

You're at the bottom of this bottle
I think I'll find you when it's empty
And if you're not there hiding
I'll toss back another and another
Until you're sitting down there for me, waiting

You're at the bottom of this bottle
I think I'll find you when it's empty
And if you're not there hiding
I'll toss back another and another
Until you're sitting down there for me, waiting
