Truth Only Smiles

Out here amongst the spit and hiss
 Of dreams all black and pistol whipped
 They crawl towards the morning with a sigh
 With easy grace and needy hands
 They murdered love's sweet circumstance
 And calmly fashioned flawless alibis
 Tell me we're leaving all this far behind us
 Tell me the lights still flicker when we kiss
 No doubts or denials
 No truth, only smiles
 On his eyes the pennies hide
 The bruises of a sleepless night
 As light comes crashing in from high above
 He tries to speak of pain and loss
 But on his lips her finger falls
 When putting things in order ain't enough
 Tell me we're leaving all this far behind us
 Tell me the lights still flicker when we kiss
 No doubts or denials
 No truth, only smiles
 To greet me when I get home
 Darkness pricks me
 Something's wrong
 Please say something
 Anything
 Take me away
