Kissing Slow

The good could not enfold us

We grew wrong so long ago

The few who take flight

With their sorrow

And refuse to let go

How our cries lie frozen deep

Beneath muzzled smiles

Like nerve gas

Their violence slowly seeps

Through the dusk of empty lives

Oh we know

As we are kissing slow

A bruised mouth knows no worth

We can't move

Never move forward

Hell we know

As we are kissing slow

A bruised mouth knows no worth

We can't move

Never move forward

Under the floors we caress upon

A cell of broken hearts

Sobs and calls

We toss them drugged avowals of hope

Too late black rain falls

Hindsight shrinks into the dark

Leaving a sad still lake of pain

We choke back its tides forever

Cursing our fate

The dead weight of our fate

For we know

As we are kissing slow

A bruised mouth knows no worth

We can't move

Never move forward

Hell we know

As we are kissing slow

A bruised mouth knows no worth

We can't move

Never move forward
