Her arms extend with love and understanding
she can't comprehend how it could pass her by
and with the constant abuse withstanding
she'll put on her makeup and wait by your side
Yet something seems to mask the truth inside
lights off, in pleasure for hours unending
in this newfound ecstasy she'll hide
and now with each waking day a new pretending
All of the storm
we'll never return
we're all the same
covered in burden, bleeding
I am the same
love is to take
it's all for me
covered in blood now, leaving
What has been won?
our ship has been sunk
remove the pain
to never come back now, pleading
All of her love
was never enough
She'll be alone
Covered in dust, weeping
