Words Fell Like roses at our feet When you let me see you cry Your silent lips against my cheek Words Fell On a night as black as coal Your kisses traveled deep Your eyes pierced my soul Words Fell Words Fell In another place and time We lived within the woods Ate berries from […]
If we lived in a world withought tears How would bruises find The face to lie upon How would scars find skin To etch themselves into How would broken find the bones If we lived in a world without tears How would heartbeats Know when to stop How owuld blood know Which body to flow […]
Last time I saw you, you had dirt under your nails Your eyes were glassy and you looked so pale You said my life has become a livin’ hell Ain’t got enough money to pay my bills Everything is wrong Everything is wrong Got a friend with a needle stuck in his arm He got […]
People…trying to tear us apart Trying to rip out my heart People talkin’ People talkin’ Livin’ is full of misery and pain Somebody called you a dirty name Keep on walkin’ Keep on walkin’ I love you more than this cruel world will ever know I wanna be your girl forever I don’t wanna let […]
