Black Gardenia

I can tell you what it is, that feeling

but before, I must let you know I have dusty corners that need to be fixed from floor to ceiling

 

now in this room there is no use in stealing

its not gradual, look in my eyes in one second if i allow it, you will know the meaning

 

in my hands, beneath my palms there is a pounding

as water embraces the ocean, can you feel yourself drowning

 

trembling I hold it out of my chest

my hands are dripping in blood, and right now I cannot tell you the rest

here we don't use words, because there is no use for them

 

once they told me .....

but I refuse to believe that,

although I find trouble convincing myself - no they are lies

a lingering whisper that comes to me occasionally tells me otherwise

 

that little girl that lingered in the open spaces

with her nerves she traces

symbolic memoirs of something fading

I went downtown just to go downtown, no reason in particular

, days like those I cherish the beauty of solitude and city lights

 

after I got to the mountains I blushed to myself

when they came to say hi

this isn't were I belong

do I seem like an open book

I am an open book

 

but only the right eyes can read its invisible words

that were written with the happiness of few things

--

and the pain of many many things

 

behind my words there is a calling

read between the lines, can you feel yourself falling

 

slowly now I feel your wounds healing

I can show you what it is, that feeling

 

but before I must let you know, I have dusty corners that must be fixed from floor to ceiling.
