Only For A Moment
She claims she's broken
choking on the last words she said to him
All her life is but a dream
and no one knows just what it means
To hold this broken beauty in your arms
if only for a moment
And in that instant,
all of these ancient feelings
come flooding back
All the hurt of past lives,
all of the attachment
and passion
of returning to love
All of the times
we decided it'd be best
to put our brains in the bottle
and contain our ways
The feeling stays awake
in the form of
diluted memory
and bruised skin
The feeling stays awake
like I do,
lonely as the night
The only living thing
born dead
And it feels just right
The feeling stays awake like I do,
all night,
thinking of you
and your poison stare
Let me swallow you
and burn my throat
on your existence
Let me close,
if only for a moment
Let me in,
I promise you'll enjoy it
Since all we want to do is forget,
And bite our skin
with frozen passion,
we'll give up
Surrender to the dirt brown
carpet on the floor
and lay there forever
Since all we want to do is forget,
"Only for a moment"
Is all we'll get
