All around us hang the gallows of lost innocence
Merely time to take your name
Before I take a part of you
And you a piece of me

I rest unassured that it will last for ever
And it goes on hurting all the time
You dress so fine
But I long to peel away those shells around you
Strip away 'til it's bare and all used up

My head is burning
A hand grasps in searching
From somewhere void in you and me
But it just fumbles through the darkness

Another day comes to another ending
Another kiss seals another goodbye
We'll retrace our steps
Only seperately now

You spoke so enchantingly
Yet you let me smother your words with kisses
