I remember when your arms were inviting
and your tongue didnt move just to correct my point of view
Remember when our kisses led to biting?
Now I only bite in frustration at you

Your bed used to keep me warm

Our arguments make me want to be alone
But when i'm away I miss the love we own

Can we go back to the way we were?

Fate has no say, no authority

When you stand between two doors

Welcome to the city
city of angels
of demons
of men and women
rapists,
killers,
con artists,
scheming fraudsters and intelligent drug dealers
they all share a secret
they were once innocent
as was the city
before its beauty was discoloured
her purity stolen by thieves of the night

I want to see the city in all its grace
in her naked form

stripped of its costume

A large room

a single chair
an imprint of someone who used to sit there

The empty book case
still the faint musky smell of old pages

Flowered curtains stained by cigarrette smoke
the room is silent, quiet

Truth knocks at the door

quietly he enters

you've heard his voice before

you quiver at the sentence

Those words you cannot say

you choose to write them down

read by a family betrayed

you paint smiles over their frowns

Behind the gentle face

lies darkness disguised

the words leave a sour taste

crooked pictures left behind

Hide yourself from the crowd

But just to make sure he tried it again

On the seconbd day, he created women

When the earths starts to shake,

knocking you down,

cutting the delicateness of your sides.

Pick yourself up

and walk towards

a fresh open door in your mind.

The steps may be high

and the roads may be long

but something somewhere's got to give

and when you finally achieve

what for so long has been your dream

you can hold your head up in pride

The melody plays

to offer you praise

Delightfully marked with the pictures of love

it takes the shape of a drunken dove

you love to watch the sun go down

watching it come up makes our faces turn brown

I can see that every scar has history

and every wound has its own story

and even though its a thing of the past

I must caress so the pain doesn't last

Love and the rest

so easy to use

So easy to lose

Minus the gentle breeze

Minus every single thing and you still have us

Where they would sit and exchange the odd wink

They pretended for months that they wasn’t in love
