Slow motion drips between folds Driest tales of tears untold Scrounge and panic empty hands Empty heart pumps empty sand Weighed down in a dormant feel Pinch a nerve to know it's real Pregnant with a star tonight Melt my tongue in speech so slight Eyes aglaze your satin chilled Skin and face of that I k**ed In your gown and wrists are crossed Spasm shake for that I lost There in plainest view I turn Sudden scream as past I burn I deny the whole of you Nothing else for me to do I deny your beauty Blocked entirely I deny that you existed Disused piece of me And now in this my darkest time My memory's gone and with my mind The rumble of this prayer to gain All I need to start again But words are weak as I am proof That fools use words to speak the truth In riddles, lies, all indirect But when can I myself connect? And I alone stand not so tall I block out one, I block out all Erase a notch, we're back another mile Tonight we dream the beauty in denial
