Lonely Hearts Club

Your eyes flickered something familiar.

I am entranced.

and look at the stars

In a house with no roof

In this body of scars

I am pretty and pale

I am tattered and frail

If you touch me I might fall to pieces

"Careful.." I think, as your lips trace my skin

As my heart, it beats fast

And my soul takes you in

I am drowning inside of me

And you have no clue

That I'm not the type to stay tied up to you

In the morning the church

will knock at my doors

And I'll beg on my knees

Ike a dog, on all fours

That I'll find what I need

In this town full of whores

And that these people not pray for my soul anymore

Discernment making piles in my ash tray

I'm wallowing in the dust on my dinner plate

Won't you stop me from wasting away

I've reached out to every possible thing

Lord, help me, for I fear I'm past the point of redemption.

You give in too quick.

At the bat of an eye,

The catch of a stare.

You fall so easily.

Slow down.

You have plenty of time.
