Dry water and liquid sand

Mellow streetlights with sodium taste

The whiff of lighterfuel on unlit cigarrettes

Born from desire and wanton lust

Alone like million stars

In a sea of despair

Add one and you get two

Add more and decadence impede

I gave you more than you could handle

Yet you persevered, an invasion so soft and lightly

Get undressed by my desire

to taste blood on frozen lips

Yet names are just for souvenirs

And with dawn comes denial

Like mist on the battlefield of peace

Lost and lonely on the road to forgiveness

You praised the lord in infernal ways

Bitter rites through endless night

It's all over in the morning

Departing just as we met

Strangers forever in the palace of ache
