Youth and Lust

Dethroning the dream
 Of noen night in rain
 I stripped from the skin
 But kept it in
 Same remains the same
 Cold sheets and mattress stains
 There's no telling you
 To want me to
 You miss the disco lights
 It's all pleather now
 A synthetic world without end
 Sheds a tear of plastic deception
 The last dance
 With the rain
 On the nod
 On the train
 Hunting the haunted with shame
 I will remember your name
 I had hoped my love alone could outlive my past
 I had hoped a to thread the black hole
 With no strings attached
 Thorn to finger again
 A head in a strange hand
 I prayed for some truth
 'Til my face turned blue
 To fill the void between
 Your youth and lust
 You'll cross the bridge between
 My knives and trust
 You miss the neon lights
 It's all plastic now
 A sympathetic world without end
 Hums a hymn of misdirection
 The last dance
 With the rain
 On the nod
 On the train
 Hunting the haunted with shame
 I will remember your name
 I had hoped my love alone could outlive my past
 I had hoped a to thread the black hole
 With no strings attached
