lyrics

Morning Star your beauty gave me something to believe in
When I had nothing, I was nothing
You helped me to erase my future before it erased me

I can’t resist
I don’t exist
If I can’t have you
Air aint shit
I wonder
I tumble
I gasp
I reach
I feel your lips
I miss your tongue
I need your touch
My Morning Star, I went too far
Lucifer you broke my fall
Then rose again, and left me here
Alive, yet dead again

I don’t dream when I sleep
Without you I am hollow
I can’t think of anything but me
Empty
Through a glass darkly
I stare into the winter light
And all I hear is silence
Silence
Silence

The morning after it made sense
I lost my chance for one more kiss
I wish
I could
I should
I would
I think I’d like
To try again
I cry
I sleep
I drink
I think
I wouldn’t like
To be in my shoes
If I lost you
Like I did
I think I’d die
Oh shit, I did

I wish I’d never met you
Were the six words I said that finally pushed you to leave me for dead
No past now, no future now
No warmth now, just me now
Just this alien view, that keeps me from you
And the rest of the world
impossible
unbearable
undeniable
maddening
deafening
isolating
alienating
abandoning
(why have you forsaken me?)
