Deceitful love

The morning I danced in ashes
Smothering pieces spilled like wine
The sun setting a second time
Got me thinkin' about it all

The dinner we ate our hearts
Like hungry wolves bled our tongues
And stared quietly at the fire
Laughing all through the night

Lived up to be this lie
A mask of the truth
With a smirk for a mouth
Breathing seductive air

I had hoped for this
To be a different truth
I had hoped for this
Not to be a lie

The ceiling cries with light
Golden tears flying high
Shadows crawling down below
Have my feet move out the door

The ghosts on the wall
Stare back with questioned looks
When I know they are mirrors
Of a deceitful love

When the dawn breaks free
From under my sheets
Empty of your warmth
Let me turn around to the past

The taste of bitterness
Mixed with sweet sugar
Heavy on my lips
Leaving a trail of your perfume
