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
