A Moonlit Drive Lyrics

I caught a glimpse

Of sunlight beaming from your eyes

And then my heart was stolen

By your clever, tender guise

The delicate beauty of

Pale winter morning belies

The scornful, hollow, broken soul

Behind your eyes

I do not know who cut you deep

Who made you bleed

You spun so many fictions

I don't know which to believe

Gladly you passed the misery

From your heart unto me

You drew me in, then cut me open

To see how much I'd bleed

Make me a slave, make me crawl on my knees

Make me a fiend for your strain of disease

Put me in chains, build a cell of my faith

Then break my trust and push me away

And so your heart deceived you

Your lies, they deeply stung

Only misery is brought

From falsely speaking tongues

I can't forget the agony

I can't forget the pain

I can't remove the scarring flesh

I can't scrub out this stain

Make me a slave, make me crawl on my knees

Make me a fiend for your strain of disease

Put me in chains, build a cell of my faith

Then break my trust and push me away

The illusion had to break eventually

I had to face the cold reality

A warm inebriation shielded me from the cold

As I took a drive by moonlight down the loneliest of roads

Music from the stereo, a sad soliloquy

Spoke words into my heart as if written just for me

I saw your blurred form through a saltwater veil

Obstructing my view

Though we had many beginnings

This time we cannot start anew

One knife too many thrust into my back

A bridge too far, there is no going back
