yesterday sucked the marrow from bone and he's numb from from the process
the tequila made the lights flicker in the backroom of surprise and she's sleeping off the balance
while a shadow follows the lonely movements of a broken heart slipping into the pool
the price of being has long surpassed the capacity to earn the required rent
from rusted chains to gilded bars
from open wounds to visible scars
twinkle, twinkle all the faded stars
today broke the last lock holding back the flood and she's never been the best swimmer
a sip of water that for others brings refreshing life only burns the throat he's holding
while a shadow moves between darkness and dawn in the cool air above the silent ground
the ticket of escape has long since been cancelled and this flight suspended
from rusted chains to gilded bars
from open wounds to visible scars
twinkle, twinkle all the faded stars
tomorrow the song of truth and dreams will be longer than he's willing to sing
the free refills of blue ribbon promises no longer has a taste she's willing to drink
while a shadow orders the house special at the diner of wasted time
the stale bread of doubt is the appetizer in this buffet of burning futures
from rusted chains to gilded bars
from open wounds to visible scars
twinkle, twinkle all the faded stars
