After a long night gone by
After the passion runs dry
After a warmly ebbing high
Long after
We stopped asking why
We roll back
Into that cosy sack
Like Jill and Jack
Waiting to crack.
And drink in the sweetness
Of an hour of weakness.
Drunk on a wet wet world
As the sea outside swirled
and asked
Would you know me tomorrow
if I looked in your eye
if you passed me by
if I made you cry?
And you smiled and said
You make me see red
Turn my heart to lead
Wish that I was dead.
And you make me want to
Read you
Feed you
Heed you
Yet, bleed you
And you make me want to
Fight you
Slight you
Incite you
Even bite you
And when you do
Try to be true
And you look up at me
Hoping you see
Who you wish me to be
I'll be mocking sweetly
as I set myself free
As I push you away so gently
And crush your dreams
Tug at their seams
Till they come undone
So much fun
I couldn't run
Stay and watch
Watch you wildly moan
and bruise flesh on stone
Watch you draw blood
a sweet searing flood
Watch you wear me down
As I step back and frown
Annoyed
Unharmed
Not the least bit alarmed.
As you look on now
Too stunned to ask
Too bitter to bask
Too hurt to know
Too weak to let go
And I can laugh out loud
And feel so damn proud
That I can beat you
Defeat you
Maltreat you
Even forget you.
As I walk out quietly
and kill the man
I tried to be
For a while
For that one gorgeous mile
We walked in style
Together
and I have to tell you
I won't come back
even to watch you smile.

Looks as though the calm has given way... Stunning emotional animation here.
Loved this one. Definitely what you do best. Hmm...
Hmmm. I really LOVE this song :) (the title)
All the costumes we wear: the gestures, the words, the makeup...is any of it real? This made me think of how hard it is to be true to ourselves. It's even harder to be true to our loved/despised ones.
Loved/hated these lines:
'And drink in the sweetness
Of an hour of weakness'
'That I can beat you
Defeat you
Maltreat you'
