You can't hide
Liquid sadness in disguise
All the pits and pendulums
The trials in your mind
There is a hole inside
You must decide
Trade all the sweat and skin
For something memorable
She sat across from me
Something like a fragile sin
Soft as a blade, cool as a flame
Her icy flesh like needle points
The prickle of shame
A tendril wrapped around my frame
Dragging me into
This mess I've made
And you shook your head
Like a doll stuck in the motion
And penetrated the impermeable love
Like a simply dead emotion
On the edge of crater hate
Tip toeing past the enemy
You know he's asleep tonight
Hoping in his dreams alive
I layed a hand on fate
Stroking hair out of his face
Whispering false claims
He closed his eyes and faded away
On some misty autumn breeze
Like a cog jammed in the machine
Walking out into the rain
Driving down the same old lane
