Your Darkest Eyes
that smoke it moves just like sweet velvet / it lures me in till I'm drinking to kill the pain, trying to stay out of a fight but the liquor it won't let me / the only thing it's killing now is me / your darkest eyes and pale skin are always on me / black fingernail polish is chipping off again / on my mind just like a death treat or maybe a death wish / kill me anytime I'm ready for it / no one else was ever half this beautiful, no two hearts were ever half what ours was whole / desperate like the rain on your midnight window sill / I said I love you and I know that's what you meant / I know that's what you meant / there's a holy grail of a simple life led somewhere / in the blankets of trees between you and Tennessee / St. Peter's in a river running out to Homer's sea / where the leaves can break your heart / and the waves might wash me clean / no one else was ever half this beautiful, no two hearts were ever half what ours was whole / desperate like the rain on your midnight window sill / I said I love you and I know that's what you meant / I know that's what you meant
