I licked his lips They tasted of stale women Of rivers of wine Nights of the sound of her dissatisfied sighs. You tormented heart Twisting violently to fit the shape of her mold Pleading for a miraculous flame in the bitterness of her cold Flecks of blood form here From shards Of your shattered heart here on my tongue letting the corpses of its decaying music evaporate into coarse negligence As if it had never been sung. Scorned. you weep on my body My fierce warriors spirit Frail shoulders attempting to bear the brunt of your past. Assure you of your beauty and that of the man beneathe the mask. A tear sneaked out your eye and into my mouth. but i cant drink you in… find a way to get out Run for your life into the future stop drowning your soul in the river s of wine

Rivers of Wine
I licked his lips They tasted of stale women Of rivers of wine Nights of the sound of her dissatisfied sighs. You tormented heart Twisting violently to fit the shape of her mold Pleading for a miraculous flame in the bitterness of her cold Flecks of blood form here From shards Of your shattered heart here on my tongue letting the corpses of its decaying music evaporate into coarse negligence As if it had never been sung. Scorned. you weep on my body My fierce warriors spirit Frail shoulders attempting to bear the brunt of your past. Assure you of your beauty and that of the man beneathe the mask. A tear sneaked out your eye and into my mouth. but i cant drink you in… find a way to get out Run for your life into the future stop drowning your soul in the river s of wine
