boys don't use umbrellas

kisses
spotlights
have you already forgotten

golden
bloodshed
whispers in the foreground

the blanks you filled
your absent mind
then my last breath
and then you died
your hand i mine
anger tight
forgetting time
vintage night

sixteen eyes
of different kinds
staring at forgotten sights

memories of better times sinking deep into my mind
memories of better times sinking deep into my mind

the shadow's vines
keeping score
rolled back feelings beg for more

the twisted path
the one i follow
lost inside my black tomorrow
all i need
all you gave me
fuck your words
they couldn't save me

forget
offset
basking in your sick regret

anger anger beating down beating down on hollow ground
anger anger beating down beating down on hollow ground

black widow luck
on which we dine
spotless blades with perfect shine

poison poison so unreal making sure my wounds don't heal
poison poison so unreal making sure my wounds don't heal
my wounds don't heal
they'll never heal
your making sure my wounds don't heal

    HELL YES!! why do i feel as if you've been away for some LONG long time???
    don't you love how lyrics.. like when you write them down... if you got some enlgish writer then they'd say: hey that grammar is wrong.. but then you hear the words.. and it just makes a whole lot of sense and if tyou changed it.. it wouldn't mean the same at all. i love that about lyrics, for me they give me freedom to be some one else other than what my poetry is.. i don't know. I've always thought that when i write songs it is always more honest than what i say in my poems. but shhh dont tell anyone that lol. umm yeah i'mbabling sorry. i jsut think that this was awesome. and i'm not just saying that cos ur a fav, but yeah. liek honestly, ir eally like it, i felt rhythm to it its great, awesome, write another one muaha
