Youth and Lust

Dethroning the dream

Of noen night in rain

I stripped from the skin

But kept it in

Same remains the same

Cold sheets and mattress stains

There's no telling you

To want me to

You miss the disco lights

It's all pleather now

A synthetic world without end

Sheds a tear of plastic deception

The last dance

With the rain

On the nod

On the train

Hunting the haunted with shame

I will remember your name

I had hoped my love alone could outlive my past

I had hoped a to thread the black hole

With no strings attached

Thorn to finger again

A head in a strange hand

I prayed for some truth

'Til my face turned blue

To fill the void between

Your youth and lust

You'll cross the bridge between

My knives and trust

You miss the neon lights

It's all plastic now

A sympathetic world without end

Hums a hymn of misdirection

The last dance

With the rain

On the nod

On the train

Hunting the haunted with shame

I will remember your name

I had hoped my love alone could outlive my past

I had hoped a to thread the black hole

With no strings attached
