So this is how it feels
to have the world replay it's misery
but only to me
some seek comfort in the late sunrise
but I paint the make-up on
I follow ghosts around the house
and lie to keep you near
If the night could wrap the days in gold
I would fall into a caffeinated sleep
but stars keep dying and I cannot love you
cannot hold you the same way
this girl I haunt the body of
she smells like rain and feels too rough
and you keep whispering the same words
"twilight only fades if you let it"
sorry darling it's way to late
to hold onto the broken light
Mirrors show the fallen grace
of so many people too fucked up to save
and I'm no different
pale white skin and almost black hair
you look at me with pretty eyes
when making love becomes a conversation
the poetry of tonight
And the following hours will attempt to fix
a swollen stomach and not enough tears
too many things to be afraid of
cut out this heart and say goodbye
to everything you know
