From every street corner of the unknown cities Locked into the eyes of atrocities That we have committed after our baptisms Are the baby blue skies of our sins
Those tears you cried Each aching in your eyes Stinging as they cascaded down your cheek Spell out your silent thoughts And hidden feelings The quiet sigh you uttered As you fell from his arms Leaving behind the one prayer answered Shattered upon the ground As you wept over each blade in pain
A slap in the face
those words
Hurting and burning
like a healing friend
We open our eyes
we bleed and we sigh
Rejected by parents and friends
we live alone until we die
Without a single memory to surpass us
Simply answered, they are carnal sins Ones we project into a free world and begin To craft a certain exotic disease of simplicity For in the lack of desire We left our sins alone as heaven rose higher And it was all so much further away from you
Baby astral lace - Did you know It was all beyond mother's embrace? Why did they always say You would be The golden child they meant to be me? Now you are stealing The hope from their eyes And everything they treasured of their feelings You could raise Friendship from ash And set our sky ablaze The rain fell from the snow And it took the purity From the sadness you let us all know
Measured remorse and indignity
Fell as flachettes, leaving behind days
Of a war's insignificant glory
As the fallen's kin knee the ground
- they pray
Birds, predators of a place
The rest can only hope to dream for
Knots and is tied up in it's vain lace
Now, today locked behind the rich man's door
Fears stowed in cargo holds
Your fingers freeze, itching to release the bomb
Watching humanity, wax works
Melting into the mold
Now beneath the lace
The lives are gone
And no one sings the song
