Lyrics
Kissing Gate
We moved on our own separate ways,
& life sees you right
This time.
Sleeping for hours to awaken
The killer line,
I lost the fight this time.
Covers unwrapped
Violet storm fields shall burn,
God I pray for a dawn return.
Your poetry’s feigned,
Yet I’m shy, coffeestained,
Twisting on a thousand dry roses...
Take a chance,
Kiss the hollow
And I’ll meet you tomorrow
By an old kissing gate,
Strangers dance
Around angels,
Are these town lights distorted?
I can’t keep my eyes open for
Flowers in the Indian rain...
Too many seasons
In your head,
I lost the picture this time.
Too many people
Responding to your perfect lies,
Guess we no longer shine.
Sleep & recover,
Sleep & recover,
I’ll be a shallow friend,
You were my lover,
You were once my overflow of
Bleeding tears.
Sleep & recover,
I’ll drink myself asleep to recover
from you.
Take a chance,
Kiss the hollow
And I’ll meet you tomorrow
By the old kissing gate,
It’s never too late.
