Before too long we will forget all this Before too long you will forget everything
Aching, I kissed your knuckles As you held my hand Hard and hopeful
Striving, I pressed your hand to the stained Wooden door And you said, you felt it beating Another brief moment in a day dream
16 steps to the top of the stairway I look down below to find the water rising Like the edges of a winter breeze The foundation wanes and shudders Ignorant truth keeps the tide at bay
We will never get to stay here Daydreams of hinted futures She wrote to me:
"At the end of every hour, everything is taken away. Lapse in memory or lapse in judgement, you’re at a loss. Touch comes in but ash comes out. Give as you get if you want to move along. I know how hard you pushed me. I know how hard we pressed on.
Keep the backdoor cracked when you get home. I want to watch you living. I want to keep living on the outside."
Lack luster pleas keep me grounded My fabled sins, my heart beats away Your visions of me are clouded in perfection You won’t see past the night The doorway is just your height
The bedroom walls peeled away The secrets of the hollow spaces Take time away from delusion I tried to make you see
Words are repeated Your cold feet sting when we lay intertwined The ceiling forces my eyes open As it crumbles
The water reaches my heartrending mouth Drowning my words of fear The flood drains as my thoughts are made clear Made clear forever in lies Wash away my sins
I held your ear to the door frame And you said you heard it speaking Another brief moment in a day dreamTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
