– WOMEN –
i loved the women
i loved their perfume
so sweet and so sour
i loved their bodies
so true and so unperfected
i loved to lay next to them
listening to their lives
to their dreams
i loved the taste
of bad coffee
during silent mornings
i loved the cheap beer
on their breaths
i loved the peace i’ve found
in their breasts
and i even love to know
that they will kill me
one day
– TATTOO –
yeah, i was
whoring around
to forget
your pictures
living in my head
and pouring round
after round
trying to drink away
your memories
but there’s still
your tattoo
across my heart
and i’ve been
sniffing your name
like a god damn line
and i get high
by the things
i try to forget
– ALL WILL FADE –
here where i laid between my dreams
the air full of smoke
a shaking hand holds the glass
in the nightstand the bible
and the heart so empty
i found an angel
a pillow for the pain
i laid on your shoulder, in your arms
you’re singing old songs
where thorns wear roses
i smelled your fragrance
felt your skin
your kiss on my forehead
and a heart that beats again
a voice through the smoke
and an empty glass
and everything what will stay
is your fragrance on my skin
– DANCE –
i’m sitting at this bar
i order some whiskey
and smoke my cigarettes
staring at the glass
while i ask myself
about life and fault
and then i saw her
she was dancing
in a flash of light
her worn out boots
her old jeans
this dirty white top
she’s moving like
a sin i will regret
and legs like a mistake
i need to do
throwing down 100 proof
wondering if i am ready
to ruin my life again
