about
The start of the new songs in "Portraits Of Bleaker Days," this one I found in my archives and thought it would make an interesting song.
As to what it's about, I have no idea.
lyrics
We check into the hotel,
your eyes are bright, like a child's.
We spend that first night
staring up at the darkness.
Waking up and I see that you're not there,
I wait for you, I wander into the abyss.
Your shape emerges,
I find you hanging on the end of my words.
the blood dripped so slowly
from her neck onto the shower
and across the mosaic of the floor
the twilight sun paraded itself
across your shallow cheeks
We kiss, embrace for the final time,
your eyes, once like a child's,
have grown so old and faded.
I let you go, I let you hang on the end of my words.
I spend that night
wishing I had never let you go.
Wishing you were there staring into the void with me.
I shift and I shutter and your eyes come into view,
floating in the void.
Your eyes, your face, it haunts me,
haunts me as I go,
go towards the exit sign.
Hotel check-out, leaving it all behind.
