Gushes of tears run down my featureless face I failed to find you, now I walk in disgrace, the destruction was swift and everything but honest now I stare at the black ugly wound of a broken promise newspapers cartwheel alongside litter and soiled bank notes as the northerly wind whispers, between each building it chokes cathedrals and churches alike collapse the sun burns blue, sky bloated and raging with thunderclaps icy waves dancing to a dance-less tune shadows arising from the corners to defile and exhume I'm suffocating in my mind, I'm gagging on this dead world my sanity like my nails - twisted and curled, I've got cuts and bruises that can't be seen I try thinking of you but the pain just plagues my dreams over and over I see the tears in your eyes - stuck like a record, time does freeze, catching your wail upon the wind I fall to my knees [her body lies under the rubble of a society dead and gone I've lost everything, alas I'm not the only one] gazing at the black sky above, praying to a sun merciless and blue yes, this world may be falling around me, but I will still find you.

Black Wound Of A Broken Promise
Gushes of tears run down my featureless face I failed to find you, now I walk in disgrace, the destruction was swift and everything but honest now I stare at the black ugly wound of a broken promise newspapers cartwheel alongside litter and soiled bank notes as the northerly wind whispers, between each building it chokes cathedrals and churches alike collapse the sun burns blue, sky bloated and raging with thunderclaps icy waves dancing to a dance-less tune shadows arising from the corners to defile and exhume I'm suffocating in my mind, I'm gagging on this dead world my sanity like my nails - twisted and curled, I've got cuts and bruises that can't be seen I try thinking of you but the pain just plagues my dreams over and over I see the tears in your eyes - stuck like a record, time does freeze, catching your wail upon the wind I fall to my knees [her body lies under the rubble of a society dead and gone I've lost everything, alas I'm not the only one] gazing at the black sky above, praying to a sun merciless and blue yes, this world may be falling around me, but I will still find you.
