Pain won't sanctify the love we crucify
Loveless and damned
Spilling onto the paper in blue ink
I am a flower at sea
In a city where no one knows my name
The cigarette smoke glows as the sky around me grows dark
And today I didn't get any slumber
And today I didn't get any younger
And it feels as though everything is slipping away
And I'm falling out of myself
Falling out with the people I should love
Time slipping through my fingers
Read my fortune in a newspaper
My psychobable
My destiny
My changing disposition
Is a praying mantis in an orchid
A song I play over and over to nullify these strange times
Something so subtle, but it makes me feel insane
When I find myself falling in love with you
Scared I will lose you
I pretend I'm okay but deep inside I'm breaking
And you never notice all the things I say, the way I care for you
My wandering sadness, my lost dreams
Floating away with the memories I treasured
You, always you
A wave coming back to me, cut ribbons of blue for me
Let me drown in the bath
And go out like a candle, do it for me
It's cold and I'm eating blueberries
But the night is magical and it makes me cry
And suddenly I realise
I'm capable of love.
