After her,
I found there was nothing left.
Those songs —
Now skewed in absence,
Stubbed out on my skin.
She is a faded dream,
Unpicked and sullied.
Nostalgia
Sharpening the blade,
Dragging bodies.
Beauty in a red dress
Flawless in her glory.

Loneliness ~~~~
            ridin so hard
            ridin so far  

The all night bar at the edge of town

I hope to god that she 'll be there

••

She was a child yesterday

//

darkness turns to shadows at the dawn

Men emerge from alley ways

That's where I come from

With a special brand of love



We met on the ole El - train

After work
Goin home

Such a lovely girl

Such a lovely thing

//

Lonely bar at the edge of town

All night strangers from the anywhere

I pray to god that she"ll
Be there

And the he 's forgiven me

//

All YE  cowboys on the road

Time to escape from the Rodeo

//

The sun is risin this very morn

We already died

Time to be reborn

Come and share a drink with me

••

I pray to god that she ' ll be there

And that you 've forgiven me

halioth
I'm gold and platinum
Then why do I feel like the mud, stucked under your ride's hooves?

You say you're a king?
Then I just became your crown,

Don't cast me in the box of your jewellery,
For I'm sparkly and shiny by nature,

On your head you should carry me,
Don't mistreat me with thick dust and dirt,

But if you wouldn't, if you can't, if you don't want to,
The farther you put me down,

The more I ****** your gold and glitters,
Before I vanish into thin air
