The record stops in spin Clouds turn to black And the round back straightens
I'm awake here Seeing bare Attending to cares But unfulfilled
There is a liar amongst us She smells of raw fibs I run my palm Across my bare chest Feeling ribs
We are bones And meat With a mind we can never fully
Control
A mystery To myself

This kind of place Smells of dry skin and regret Dead brush and a unforgiving sun Love takes off Its always on the run
Sometimes I don't know the difference Between me and you Sometimes You try to tell me something That I know just isn't true
White cut on the hem of her dress She says something to me But I can already tell that she's in distress
"Let me in your taxi," she squealed, The bangs of her hair bouncing over her face, "I'll tell yah something. I'll show yah' some lace." I opened the door with a stone hand And as she sat next to me I looked over To see she was holding a beat up tomato paste can
Whispers of truths only turn into bigger lies A butler coughs as he adjusts his tie "The body needs to be washed up around the thigh," It explained, a shadow under each of the mans eyes "There is no instrument man can trust to rely, Other then that of God and his belief in the upside."
A road Dispelled
A life Cut short
