Into The Night

if i was a fly

and i had a day left til i died

i would lay down til tomorrow

you're clipping my wings

i try to win you back

with all my words that you know mean nothing



you could have believed in me



and i

saw a tear

on a rose

and i swept it off for you

as i gag

on my guts

cause i'm watching you give up

im a tear

in the clock

as you walk away

i can almost taste the glaze

on your lips

smacking away

into the night



they say

at least he's my friend

he'll treat you kindly in the end

call me bitter

but i'm brimming with hate for both of you

a film is playing in my head

of you fornicating in his bed

the satin sheets are ruby red

like your nails that scarred my back



and i

saw a tear

on a rose

so i clipped it off for you

i'm a fly

on a wall

and i'm watching you give up

i'm a tear

in the clock

as you walk away

i can almost see a shade

of your blue eyes

fading away

into the night.



you never believed in me

but i will believe in me



now i

take a match

to the rose

that i gave, my love, to you

won't forgive

won't forget

and the rage will lift me up

i hope you choke on his tongue

as i walk away i will not watch his hands

as they deaftly pull you away

into the night.
