Seamstress

Am I a word from your mouth

Lost in the smoke of this room

All I am now as I turn from you

And the rage in my youth

Are we ashamed fouls

Lies for the dark I told you

You know it's tied true

It's the pain of my youth that I cling to

And the fog

Moves with you now

Charcoal silhouette

Never burns out

Watching words

Dance from your mouth

Aren't I old enough to forget now

Tourniquet fist found

The pull of my wrist to a cold south

Stars creek as they fall down

To the lights of the streets of this old town

Come show the shaw the seamstress

Oh come now don't leave it

Oh you seamstress

Don't leave me here i've seen this

Don't leave me standing wingless

Don't leave me here i've seen this

Don't leave standing wingless

Don't leave me here I can be it

The fog

Moves with you now

Charcoal silhouette

Never burns out

Watching words

Dance from your mouth

Aren't I old enough to forget now
