Iris
Quo Vadis
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I sit in the neon glow Staring in looking for a warm face And yet all I can see through the glass Through their piss through their lies The same reruns of the same women Turning and prancing over and over And yet they keep cutting from each frame too indulgent to show your soul But somehow my heart keeps a steady beat I can still see the light in their eyes But I know I only see a memory of what used to be What used to exist She's something I could never have But will long for so endlessly forever I can still see your face The pantomime you make Your skin each layer every pore etched in the gold of the afternoon light Glittering as the hours pass over it Near slick in idealism And no one could call it their own Never for sale but yet it was right there Right in my hands Your pictures of melding and moving and human and animal and yet I'm nowhere to be found My fingers can only graze a screen A barrier cast in glass I don't need you to be mine I just want to have a piece of your reality A piece of your gone time To see you once more convulse over and over again once more in glittering gold The reality I've known too well Ive lost all my questions All minutia It all brings me right back here Right back to your window And for a second I thought of something real And for a second I felt the touch of someone real But then it became nothing but lines Nothing lines in someone else's script My dream is someone else's words Someone else's world Someone else's script made real on a page And yet you made me feel And yet you made me feel Waves take me over My body catches another rhythm The grainy footage almost becomes unbearable and the neon finally washes away And when I'm left on the floor And when I'm left lying on the floor Lying on the floor with pieces of you in my arms Lying, lined with shards of you slitting open my skin
