Bones and dust lie on the floor
And no one comes here anymore
This place is closed to everyone
The door is barred and the damage done
We lay together in the dark
And let our fingers count our scars
I close my eyes, we kiss, and then
I slide between your skin again

Blot out the light
Run to the noise
Where people play
With people toys
Stir the crowds and
Blend the shapes
With chemicals,
And love the hate
Invade your world,
Your bedroom, too
I write my poems
Distort the truth
If we believe
Each others' lies,
We just might make
It out alive

Please smile like you mean it
Even though there's nothing there
You know that I still love you
And I know that you don't care

Sometimes you leave,
Sometimes you stay,
And sometimes you
Stay gone for days
But when you come,
Is it for me?
Or for the things we used to be?

We have both been here before;
it's only sex,
It can't be more
You made the call,
Made me your whore
So kill those lights
And close that door

But where to go
From here, my dear?
We've just begun,
But morning's near...
