Monte Carlo

I write to you, my reverend guardian
Always with me, I still hear you
Gentle now and strong as ever
Stronger than I ever could be

From Panama to Monte Carlo
She knows the ropes still hidden to me
Lavender and thorny roses
Smiling in my misty memory

But who am I instead?
My bookshelf is half unread
My vices sway me more than I want you to see

And here we are, my Gemini
We paint for love and paint so clearly
Where am I without the moonlight?
You always could just see right through me
The bleeding hearts are fading quickly
Closing curtains and waning springtime
Take me there to Monte Carlo
I'm tired of this wicked debris

But who have I become
To find me always undone
Skin deep as I become less than free
