Thirsty
I came to under a red moon Thirsty for water My eyes were like shovels in the soil of the sky Digging in to the night to find solace Burying emptiness I was heart-broken Vomiting memories Because I'd promised her everything Then I did what I could not to recognize anything So, here I was Marching the town like a priest in my rapture Muttering spells So desperate for tenderness So raw from the grating of senses The way the day drinks every drop of my strength It's relentless I was digging out pence for a length of bad whisky Me and my friends Or at least The others who slumped at the bar without peace They embraced me as kindred, but Something is missing Letras de canciones So, I was sat there at the bar with my forehead on my wrist Thinking I had given all I had in me to give When I saw her Cross the floor like a firework exploding in slow motion She touched me on the shoulder And I started To live But I wasn't ready yet I wanted sucker punch and numbness The chase and the conquest of dating by numbers The safety of keeping my distance and feeding My hungers She spoke of a truth that I could not confront And she offered a peace That my war didn't want Because I liked being fangs and destruction Suction and froth and dysfunction I was dreaming Talking too much with my friends in the evenings I laughed very loud as if I was extremely Happy You should have seen me Now I knew she sensed a glory I could feel it in the way that I was standing Two feet taller like I'd never been afraid I didn't want her to know I wasn't everything she saw in me We walked each other home And didn't kiss We walked each other home And From Letras Mania
