As we travel lifes long road
We meet and make new friends
And even though the friends may go
The friendship never ends

That is how it is with you
You gave me a fresh start
You gave me vision, you gave me hope
You touched and healed my heart

You gave me strength to do the things
You knew that I could do
You inspired me in so many ways
I can't begin to repay you

You're always there when I need you most
Somehow you seem to know
And that is why I hope and pray
Our friendship continues to grow

Soul not for sale
(intimate back room shows)
No closing escrow
(renters may inquire)
Fostering a new neighbourhood
(Gods fallen angels)
Million dollar men touch & tamper
(bodies of women whose stories are unknown)
Little girls playing in a park they've barely grown in to
(Lingering over men old enough to father them)
Lucifers female protagonists
(post box red lingerie cheap tattoos)
A reckless promiscuity dollar bills bleed
(hands tied to beds)
Male lovers pass through
(mediums of wives fiancées)
Aversions never self sought
(lost to the Devil)
Purified souls marked by the world
(falling like flies)

Suffer
          Suffer
                    Suffer

    ­­                           Pleading
                Pleading
Pleading

(there is no escape)
Dawn may break
(promising new light)
Kissing away melancholic madness

Still tied to the same beds.
