No Memory Lyrics

Trading war stories with the adversary

That invites you in her home

We both give thanks to the feast we're sharing

And the life that it cost for us

Wine stained lips slur a string of confessions

Like beads of blood that refuse to clot

Applying pressure till the point all of the feeling stops

You sleep in the room with the apparition

Eternally doomed to tantalize

As she walks through walls so effortlessly

You undress her with your eyes

And lost in the clutter of guilty pleasures

Your mind and body dissolve

Into the tick tick boom of a time bombs sweeping clock

Frozen in the glaze of eyes too many

You seek your warmth and your sanctuary

With the first one who would serve

And then crept from your bed into the crack of morning

No memory of, no word of warning

Just your footprints in the snow

You stick to your guns through the dead of winter

And despite how far you've come

The seeds of contempt still rise above you

On the wings of your bastard son

Hordes of flies and hungry vermin

Survive on the pulp that rots

A million mouths to feed on the fruit that you once dropped

Amongst the big round nubs of all the people that pissed you off

Performing feats so death defying

To overcompensate for their attention trying

To politely step away

Until one by one they all left you waving

From the sandy dune beneath the seasons changing

You were much too young to go
