Preaching To the Choir

It is never strange to hear you lie

The hollow of your truth the tainted smile

All you try to do is hypnotise

You're a foreign country in my eyes

I LIsten to the water cut the breeze

i see the glitter of the moon light up the sea

To exorcise the demons in your mind

You were always perched upon A wire

Bittersweet the sound of the noble the profound

Manoeuvring themselves from the poor

We are rich beyond our means but we suffer what we preach

With hallelujah written on our door

I reach across the covers to caress your skin

The memories we overcome could mean anything

The words i used to hurt you disappear

Their presence only lingers in your tears

You cut yourself to ribbons almost every year

A prisoner to passions that you come to fear

Well out of the shadows it transpires

That you are only preaching to the choir

Oh you were only preaching to the choir
