you bruise my soul
with your eyes full of contradictions
and strange fictions
that taste so fine
the fables in my mind are better
than any hostage taker of my time
I wrap your image around me
it's a barrier a shield an army that I wield
let's take a moment to get real and be
smooth as time forgotten
silk on the vine that grows over time
singing like the words are all for nothing
truth ain't got nothing to say
you break and resurrect my heart every day
if passion is a play you are a star in every way
if kingdoms come today the universe would shake me down for spare change
and the spark that you threw and the galaxy grew
smooth as time forgotten
silk on the vine that grows over time
singing like the words are all for nothing
truth ain't got nothing to say
you bruise my soul
with your harmonies like candy
and your lips from which they roll
there ain't been a day since it mattered
that I ain't been climbing up a ladder to the moon
and find it tasting better
rocks n stones they tend to move
smooth as time forgotten
silk on the vine that grows over time
singing like the words are all for nothing
truth ain't got nothing to say
you break and resurrect my heart every day
