 Above the night time air They cast an eerie shade Of black on black They hide the stars Engulf the ebony shadows Of where we once stood In a world far back Hancuffed together Ethereal restraints Exchanging promise rings of doom Unsolemnly sworn As the night time lifts The clouds still remain Hung like a mural O'er this purple, grey morn Memories fade in time Yellowed antiquity Finally laid to rest By cereberally shredding No amount of faith Can reverse the sting Of fractured chrystal dreams Remnants of forgetting Open wounds weep From black widow bites A scorpion in disguise Disinfect them with hate Healing in due time A rail line of scars Miscalculated risks And odder twists of fate ---------- Should have made it happen But I watched it happen Ended up wondering, what the hell happened Should have made it happen But I watched it happen Ended up wondering, what the hell happened here A white knuckle grip on reality I'm doing what I can To keep you from pulling me down (pulling me down) Whiplash, giving my head a shake I'm fighting all I can To keep you from pulling me down (pulling me down) Unbalanced, with both feet flat on the ground Running fast as I can To keep you from pulling me down (pulling me down) Just a couple bats short of insanity It's all I can do To keep you from pulling me down (pulling me down) Should have made it happen But I watched it happen Ended up wondering, what the hell happened Should have made it happen But I watched it happen Ended up wondering, what the hell happened here ---------- I remember the night I was up all week I started counting the wolves Cause they were eating the sheep It was the night of the dark The reaper was grim The sandman was high Swapped their souls for some sleep I'd rather have a friend In whom I can rely Than a lover I can't That would be you Up to your neck More often over your head Wading knee deep in shame Destined for bayous of blue |
