A Night on the Town

I've been misplaced in so many ways
Broken battlegrounds hiding veils of delicate deceit
Yet, here I breathe
Teeth still gleam from holy water
While millions of lambs migrate to the slaughter
My head in a bag and my hands are bound to my feet
And voices sing

"Were we erased like common thieves?
Tossed in a cell to feast with fleas?
All because we never had written a word?"

What will I see tonight in these eyes?
And what will I know when the morning comes?
(Morning, the morning, the morning comes)
What will I see tonight in these eyes?
And what will I know when the morning comes?
(Morning, the morning, the morning comes)

Must we remind of exchanges existing so long ago?
Would we arrive at agreeable musings?
Sentimental or just confusing?
We lost what we had, then we took it back
Friends in the gutter enjoy one another
Just give yourself to the dust and the dirt where you stand

What will I see tonight in these eyes?
And what will I know when the morning comes?
(Morning, the morning, the morning comes)
What will I see tonight in these eyes?
And what will I know when the morning comes?
(Morning, the morning, the morning comes)
I'm not who you think I am
And even if I thought you'd know
I never would have told you so
And more alarming, I would have done the very same
Would have stole more than your name
Would have cursed and brought the world on your shoulders
I was in the wrong place at the right time

And what's the worst I'd see by giving myself to the earth below me?
Not knowing how far I'd fall by casting away the ordinary
Just how long can I stay in illusions formed here long before me?
And how long can I breathe this stolen breath you're underneath?

There's that subtle smile that did me in
She moves
An agony reminds me where I've been
She breathes
I'd never let this happen again
Where's your heart?
Mimicking the patriarch
She's naïve (blissfully)
