Vancouver

lady, all the troubles are my fright, i disgust you.

feel the power. you cut the truth into you.

why? did you think i did not on this rely?

i could kiss you, with lines of escape in my mouth.

please let me bring back these gifts of mine to the woman.

stars shined on my back as I slept and knew you.

you didn't leave it all.

you made an even call.

my belly released the stars and tears between the scars.

ooooh.

below this we'll end here until the end of time

beyond the moment that ends our bondage

i am your failed husband contender,

i'm your loan shark of bliss.

this dream you've ridden on turns your world to explosions

i need to be alone to heal this bleeding stone.

now, smell the rain of london, it still insists

that we beg for our purity

as if we are pure in the reign of our contentment

as if i can think of this no more.
