Green fading to a dusky brown
The leech-like heat
That clings to your body
Menory of a desperate lover at the final goodbye.
Summer was here.
And with it
thoughts of lust,
intoxication
and broken promises
to match shattered hearts

E'en in a city that doesn't sleep,
The moon fools us lovers with promise of dreams,
With promise of light and touch and caress,
one kiss stolen in moonlight,
one hushed bated breath.

The crystal siren may have robbed us of our tears,
but she can never steal those that music brings to our eyes,
those that a broken heart tears from our soul,
those that a kiss goodbye wrenches from our hearts.

It would be so easy to fall back,
On to the train tracks,
On to a habit,
On to my needle,
Into your arms,
Into a dream,
Into your heart,
Such love and grace,
From fallen angels as we.

The moon fools us lovers
With promise of dreams
E'en when those dreams
Come apart at their seams

So many offers,
So many looking,
To get away,
To give love,
To lose pain,
No wonder we run away,
No wonder we try to fly.

The moon fools us lovers,
Knowing I am the king of fools.

Keep fighting
It's hard,
There doesn't seem to be much
To look forward to,
But in the end,
If we don't fight,
We have no purpose,
And if we have no purpose,
We die...

That feeling like someone walked over your grave
That shakes you from head to toe
That feeling like you walked out of summer's arms
Into a sheer wall of snow
feel that sensation, that burning knife
That turns in your back and spreads
Now hold it , then chain
And it don't let it go
It'll remind you what it's like to be dead

I believe a leaf of grass
is no less than the journey work of stars
I feel that a touch
holds more than a kiss
I know a castle fair
can be likened to prison bars
I pray that ignorance
can someday be bliss

I sat and stared
He asked me what i saw in his eyes
I told him a grain of sand

Why does it feel,
sometimes,
That you married me to watch you die?

If a dream dies
and there's no one but you who cared
Did it really exist?

A man lay in the sand
Crushed under the weight of rock bottom
A door opened before him
He looked to the heavens and cried
"Why give me a door when you have taken my legs?".

I Cried to you
But you did not answer
I called to you
But you did not come
I came to you for help
And you answered with silence
What did I do to warrant this neglect
A lifetime of suffering
Justified by the promise of unrequited hope
And a sliver of greatness
