Youth and Lust

Dethroning the dream
Of noen night in rain
I stripped from the skin
But kept it inSame remains the same
Cold sheets and mattress stains
There's no telling you
To want me toYou miss the disco lights
It's all pleather now
A synthetic world without end
Sheds a tear of plastic deceptionThe 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 attachedThorn to finger again
A head in a strange hand
I prayed for some truth
'Til my face turned blueTo fill the void between
Your youth and lust
You'll cross the bridge between
My knives and trustYou miss the neon lights
It's all plastic now
A sympathetic world without end
Hums a hymn of misdirectionThe 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
