You held me closer to your skin than felt comfortable Come on we are only passing strangers There's no need for all these niceties Pass me a cigarette and be gone with you The moon is high and I'd rather be alone with my thoughts of who you might of been **Sober for a change I wipe your sweat from my brow Too close brother god dam you** Did I say you could come that close **Pushing through my barriers There's such a thing as personal space my friend** Do I want to join you for a drink I don't think so Yep I may have called you friend but that doesn't make you my family My brother Hell in just a moment I'm joining the other wanderers on the road to oblivion **Until then speak your truths Tell no lies** ***I see you hide behind eyes of ice cold blue The hues are amazing But they aren't enough to catch this heart Not on a night like this anyhow*** *Ok so your cultured and refined Behind your grey shaggy hair and your hair spiked chin* Your breathing is shallow upon my skin ***Why do you try to touch my soul Do you really think there's anything left I've been bleeding on these god dam paper sheets for years now An obscure poetess from the other side of town No body notices me Not until now that is I guess*** **You deal Ill win I always do** You stand silhouetted in the light of the window I'm sure you were once a handsome soul Something like loneliness lines your brow A feeling of need arises in my chest *You are an angel of darkness And so I let you stay You may wander my corridors a while if you desire What be it you desire my way wood friend You touch so much more* And words will not give away the secrets our bodies hold *Sleep fast on pillows of Egyptian cotton Crisp white sheets Blood stained By my poets hand* **Tomorrow you will run wild Beckoning for your freedom The silhouetted man with a need for a connection** *Spit me out quick Before your words fail you*

Silhouetted within the frame
You held me closer to your skin than felt comfortable Come on we are only passing strangers There's no need for all these niceties Pass me a cigarette and be gone with you The moon is high and I'd rather be alone with my thoughts of who you might of been **Sober for a change I wipe your sweat from my brow Too close brother god dam you** Did I say you could come that close **Pushing through my barriers There's such a thing as personal space my friend** Do I want to join you for a drink I don't think so Yep I may have called you friend but that doesn't make you my family My brother Hell in just a moment I'm joining the other wanderers on the road to oblivion **Until then speak your truths Tell no lies** ***I see you hide behind eyes of ice cold blue The hues are amazing But they aren't enough to catch this heart Not on a night like this anyhow*** *Ok so your cultured and refined Behind your grey shaggy hair and your hair spiked chin* Your breathing is shallow upon my skin ***Why do you try to touch my soul Do you really think there's anything left I've been bleeding on these god dam paper sheets for years now An obscure poetess from the other side of town No body notices me Not until now that is I guess*** **You deal Ill win I always do** You stand silhouetted in the light of the window I'm sure you were once a handsome soul Something like loneliness lines your brow A feeling of need arises in my chest *You are an angel of darkness And so I let you stay You may wander my corridors a while if you desire What be it you desire my way wood friend You touch so much more* And words will not give away the secrets our bodies hold *Sleep fast on pillows of Egyptian cotton Crisp white sheets Blood stained By my poets hand* **Tomorrow you will run wild Beckoning for your freedom The silhouetted man with a need for a connection** *Spit me out quick Before your words fail you*
