paperthin hymn

When your only friends are hotel rooms
Hands are distant lullabies
If I could turn around I would tonight

These roads never seemed so long
Since your paper heart stopped beating
Leaving me suddenly alone
Will daybreak ever come?

Who's gonna call on Sunday morning?
Who's gonna drive you home?
I just want one more chance
To put my arms in fragile hands

I thought you said forever
Over and over
A sleepless night becomes
Bitter oblivion
These thoughts run through my head
Over and over
Complaints of violence
Become my only friends

August evenings
Bring solemn warnings
To remember
To kiss the ones you love
Goodnight

You never know what temporal days may bring
So laugh, love, live free, and sing
When life is in discord
Praising the Lord

Who's gonna call on Sunday morning?
Who's gonna drive you home?
I just want one more chance
To put my arms in fragile hands

I thought you said forever
Over and over
A sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion
These thoughts run through my head
Over and over
Complaints of violins become my only friends

Friends

I thought you said forever
Over and over
A sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion
These thoughts run through my head
Over and over
Complaints of violins become my only friends

I thought you said forever
Over and over

These thoughts run through my head




... you always deserved better.

well i have been reading your blog for a while now and i thought it was about time i revealed my presence. yes, i know i have been lurking around uninvited but i stumbled upon your blog one day and some of the lyrics you posted caught my attention. you had posted some of the lyrics from several of my favourite bands and that is why i first decided to read your blog. it may have been the music that caught my attention but the words you write are what kept me coming back. i apologize for the randomness of this comment but i just wanted to let you know that i existed and that you arent the only one feeling lost. take care of yourself.
