In This Kiss

These walls speak in tongues

living our lives on the run

evading the truth of our souls



These ghosts float right through

for all the things I did to you

crushing the hope deep inside



In this kiss I survive

Looking deep into your eyes

witnessing the great divide



A cold mattress reminds me

of the nights warm in your arms

and warmth in the depths of your heart



The rain, it pours if it falls at all

the dry lands turn to sea

but at least now I can swim once I fall

swim away and be free



In this kiss I survive

breathing in your soul

closing the great divide
