lyrics

And I don’t know just where to begin. I’ve been tossed around town and been burned upside and down since then. And you standing there bathed in starlight. Oh, I lusted and I trusted the muse in that broken down night. And I know why. And I like fools before had found Cytherea in that dimly lit bar where we thinly gripped our hamartia. And you delicately feigning demure. Oh, how your saccharine skin and that sad, knowing grin did allure. And I know why. We were lost and ashamed. No, I never knew her name. We were young and two impassioned souls drawn to the flame. And I don’t know if I’m to blame. But I didn’t resist when your hands took my hips at our tryst. And on that creaky bedframe where we hung. Oh, your salty, sweet sweat painted your silhouette on my tongue. And I know why. We were lost and ashamed. No, I never knew her name. We were young and two impassioned souls drawn to the flame. When we awoke we were awash in littered clothes and stale smoke. We had dared that sun to rise. When it did we hid behind closed eyes. Now my mind reels. We could not outrun them furies on our heels. Of all the faults these sad bones play host the worst is a curse of chasing ghosts. We were lost and ashamed. No, I never knew her name. We were young and two impassioned souls drawn to the flame. That night’s exhaust still remains. I never knew if it was true or inane. My soul is wrung black and blue and I never will forget your name.
