Album: Let It Enfold You (2004)

  • There's poison in my drinking glass, don't stop just sip it down
    And in a swirling masquerade of sound my body hits the ground
    I'm beautiful when I'm asleep
    Martini kisses land on my blistered, bloody scarlet lips
    The bottle's in my hand
    Burn out, not fade away
    I'll speak in riddles, so you can understand
    I'll draw in pencil, so you can trace with pen
    So in love with me, like sand to wet feet
    I'll write both our names into the wet concrete
    We're glistening like silver spoons, beneath the summer night
    Oh, can you smell the subtle hint of frost as the flowers start to cry
    The autumn winds are bringing graves to all the emerald trees
    They're so beautiful in their dismay, the colors slowly bleed Writer/s: DANIEL GERARD TRAPP, DAVID MICHAEL MILLER, GARRETT MICHAEL ZABLOCKI, JAMES ANTHONY BUDDY NIELSEN, MICHAEL JOHN GLITA
