| Fragile |
| Empty moonlight, heavy moon Puts the sun to bed too soon Hungry half truth overflows Betrays the silver ring she chose Encouraged kisses, teasing touch Kills a thirst to learn this much A bliss abandoned, velvet trust An open heart confused by lust She didn�t need me, I Needed time to just hold on And so she bleeds me dry Cannot pretend that I�m that strong In a fragile world I have agile faith And my fragile bones Won�t break in haste So the serpentine girl With the turpentine words Won�t light me up, won�t burn me out Not today Loving lavished, a lover scorned Petals red with blood from thorns Careless promise, empty words A smile from tears, a grace from curse Stolen whispers, jealous rain Wet the lips of truth in vain Straining anchor, a kiss denied Builds a dam to hold her lies She didn�t need me, I Needed time to just hold on And so she bleeds me dry Cannot pretend that I�m that strong In a fragile world I have agile faith And my fragile bones Won�t break in haste So the serpentine girl With the turpentine words Won�t light me up, won�t burn me out Not today It's a fragile world And I have agile faith Oh my fragile bones Won't break in haste So the serpentine girl With the turpentine words Won�t light me up, won�t burn me out Not today It�s my saving grace It�s my fading grace |
