Lost
The touch of your lips
The feel of your breath on my neck
These are the things I miss
These are the things I've lost --
And in exchange for what?
A broken heart, a broken ring
Shattered dreams and sharper things
That cut too close to home
Too close for comfort
Too close to the bone
The claws of loss these things are
But much that we lose
Can never be found
And so I travel west
Towards progress, towards death
Away from all I've lost.
Fade to White
one more flake falls
dancing in the moonlight
while i do my dance with
the Devils in my head
i feel it in my veins
this rush this thrill
reality getting a little too real
the snow crunches beneath my feet
i need to get away
too many people too much noise
i need to get away
too much confusion the light is blinding
i need to get away
away to the pond in the trees
where i can sit and smoke away
and dance with this Devil in my head
but the snow in the streetlights
looks so perfect and i can feel
myself slipping away the Darkness
Inside and maybe learning
how to fade to white
Severance
I've never been one to say goodbye -
Are those the words I have to say?
Flaws revealed by starlit sky,
I watch you as you kneel to pray.
Are these the words I have to say?
Love is nothing without lust.
I watch you as you kneel to pray -
Desire burnt our bond to dust.
Love is nothing without lust -
I hunger still for your touch.
Desire burnt our bond to dust -
To you, these things don't mean much.
I hunger still for your touch,
For this alone your body was made.
To you these things just aren't much -
And so I let your memory fade.
For this alone your body was made -
Kneeling in prayer beneath starlit sky -
And so I'll let your memory fade...
I've never been one to say goodbye.
