Feeling too weak
She is torn out from my chest
Fleeting from my heart
You can call us even
Projecting sounds of defeat
Grandiose
Feeling better now
Throwing these things to the side
Giving off the scent of your skin
Finding you cold
Wet
Naked
For me
To taste
And warm you
Born with the bluest eyes
With the sin inside
Just once more

You could leave
But you can't go
I can still feel you in my soul
And for you to carry this away
I guess you'll have to stay
Or you'll end up alone
Please know
I can still smell you in my clothes

Will he ever love?
Tragic now,
As I see the footprints
Trudged through the snow
These ashes fall as snowflakes
And an endless winter
Has now been brought forth
You're alone now
There's nothing wrong
Must be too strong for you
Build your temples, child
Stay by the withering flames
Now once removed
Twice caught
Three times fallen
In it's most eloquent stage

When I was young
Solemn
We awaited this great Christmas night
With shining eyes
When I was young
And a heart of heavy gold
A carousel of lights and magic
Smoky evening and cold window-frames
When I was young
A child speaking sweet words
And giving cherished smiles
Across the gulf of a winter night
When I was young
I wish it would have stayed this way
Not to be caught in sleep
But to be home just once more
When I was young
A sister holding me with compassionate grace
A real warmth on this blessed Eve
And my heart pounding of pure love
When I was young

To make a heart
This desperate
Weep

Sit with me brother
Watch
As the world turns
And burns
Breaths filled with smoke
And the broken hope
Of machines
As our very last friend
Taste its pleasure
As I laugh at jokes
Inside this heart of solitude
Seeing the patterns
Of a morphine drip
Lead straight to your thoughts
Life's last request
To be held
Till your end

In the picture
Of a treacherous silence
I hear fate whisper its lonely plans
A lost deliverer
Of doomed hearts
The soundtrack
To a perfect purgatory
And their war torn eyes
They will
Cry out
Once more
