Midnight Lines

Darkened face in squalid room
Eyes once on fire
Now empty tombs
Walk monochrome streets
Under many moons
Cold love here lies
And frivolity looms
Fight the good fight
With the turning of time
Mixing ashes of the soul
With the midnight lines
Happiness hurts less
Ground up fine
Repeating the movements
Of offbeat rhymes

Hear them cry
Hear them cry
These cold feet walk away
There nothing out here but lies
Fucking lies
Oh lies
These cold feet walk away
There's nothing out here but lies

Sharp mouths of many
Scratch at windows
Lead doors rusted shut
Suffer at the blows
As ghosts sit and whisper
Of secrets they know
Small mercy of sleep
In the sweetest repose
Each life a short book
With hate on every page
Scars infected
Small wounds stitched with rage
Antipathy, no empathy
The hallmark of this age
Human shaped weapons
With targets to engage

Hear them cry
Hear them cry
These cold feet walk away
There nothing out here but lies
Fucking lies
Oh lies
These cold feet walk away
There's nothing out here but lies

Hear them cry
Hear them cry
These cold feet walk away
There nothing out here but lies
Fucking lies
Oh lies
These cold feet walk away
There's nothing out here but lies
