lyrics

"and so the dream begins..."

she opened the door with further action at the front of her mind. well actually, just behind the love that stung her eyes, blinding rational lies.
neither of them smiled for the tone was etched in stone, and neither were surprised when he eventually arrived.

but sanity straddles lines of lipstick and black circles under traditionally star_struck eyes.
and then?
and then those tears of sand...

and then he pulled the knife from inside his coat pocket with a trembling hand...

"boot prints, they let themselves in, i found them drinking in the den...
kill me... i_swear it won't hurt..."

she held him there within her breath...

i heard that her final words were like a poet in the dark,
slowly, slowly, till she fell apart...

(wings)

i heard that her last grin was like a jackal in the rain...
a fading painting, numb to all the pain...

i still see her face to face, staring at the stars.
sometimes, some nights, walking thru the park.

i still feel her in my veins, dancing with the blood.
softly crossing my heart to cool the burn.

i still have her last verse stuck inside my head,
"kill me. kill me."

soon i'll be with her...
