Amy, I'm Lost

Amy’s here tonight

I’m exhausted

She’s in red and white

A phoenix bound for flight

Always hoped I’d be

Less in need of flattery and lights

A body drenched in night

I’d understand

Even worse

I wouldn’t even fight

I’d simply step aside

How my insides crawl

Could it be I’m the skin that warms your needs

But the stranger in your dreams?

I’m lost

I’m tired

Amy, he’s yours

I’m trying

But I

I fell today

Fed the fear that covers her in grace

Frames the beauty of her ways

How he’d sing for you

He would movе you the way he always does

Thе devil and the dove

I'm lost

I'm tired

Amy, he's yours

I'm trying

But I

I tried so hard to force it down

A look, a pill, a thought

I swallow soft, a deathly cough awakes me from my sleep

Bathed in grey, a forced embrace

I held your hand too tight

You the dreamer, you the mystery, you the holy liar

The heat unbinds, the sweat reminds her

She’s swimming in her flaws

Graceless lady, soaked in maybes

Drowning in her shameless cause

This fragile thing

How I’ve used it

Spun it round my mind

Till the thread is worn and tired

This human sting

Amy’s painting

The portrait that I’ve seen

The woman that you need
