Lying in Pacific skin
Your heartbeat lost in waves...

Greeting cards scattering the ground
Fake roses drenched in rain...

I remember the night we met
When we became so much more...

Cold air grows stale before me
It's not summer, not in my mind...

The eyes that grip a heart in solitude
The topaz that bleed saline...

Mind on overdrive
Words on hold...

Generic words leave my mouth
Your actions say nothing now...

Hello city
A whole new way of living...

Like a thousand times before
The world has turned away...

Do you see what's become of me?
Our love laced together of smoke...

A black rose strown across your
Blood stained Sunday's best...

Oh yes I see your stunning beauty
So brightly and vainly shining...
