so sick that im high
ignoring the inevitable
i can feel you lying in the pits of my stomach
screaming in rage
my silence is my shield
from your cold shoulder, your dagger
the mangy whore in the next room
can't resit your belligerent swagger
but just when i think i've forgotten
you catch me straining my eyes
trying to read by light of fireflies
embarrassed and ashamed, i turn the other way
but we both know what we saw
the reactions, unconcealed and raw
you said you hated the rain
the rain in which i left you standing
naked and alone
and not even my body could have kept you warm
the rain pierced our backs
like a thousand knives
stabbing, stabbing, stabbing,
and now i fight alone
because now you've left me standing
naked and forlorn
but Thaloc wont give me any more chances
he wont see me though
he'll just sit laughing at my ignorance
and my mistake of ever trusting you
tell me one thing, baby
if we both know the time
why do we continue to strain our eyes,
trying to uncover the lies?
i can feel you lying in the pits of my stomach
screaming in rage
but i cant ease you anymore
i can't ease me anymore
twelve hours of sleep is simply not enough |
