At the dark end of the street held in an embrace,
you and I share shadows where we don't belong...
survive this darkness to hide alone. Lust unstoppable
at the dark end of the street; emotions pay for love we stole.
It's a sin known to be wrong while passion throbs ever stronger;
you and I at the dark end of the street.
Dawn brings the sun that will seperate desire as we pass
on the street with unknown faces crowded together.
Hearts fade as fingers touch like ships where light escape
through port hole to disappear on a black horizon.
Passions confused mock silence; smile as we walk
into cold life of our creation.
Thoughts rekindle warmth and dark love as this day ends.
You wait in blind bliss; magic moments pressed as if a childs
face in dreams. Temptation leds me through a door
to look past my soul. Promises hang on the wind dipped
in a taste for sweet and sour. We see that every scar
is a bridge, and long as we live. We must open up these
wounds when someone stands in your shoes and will shed
his own blood...there is no greater love.
