Holding Hands

(Album: Downset. - 1994)

Gentle you were in your first presence
Hazel to brown eyes embraced innocence
We dressed each other in colors of intrigue
First words to each other sang comfort's melody

Childlike was your first gracious allurement
Her offering hands touched mine in content
Laughter filled the air illuminated portraits
Silence was the moment that gave dawn to this kiss

Elation shined off our vivid souls, in waves of euphoria
Emotions were thrown. sunshine's fire in embodied eyes, so
Full of truth and when we held! we held tight

Lifeless! I say you left me, I say you left me lifeless
Lifeless! I say you left me, I say you left me lifeless
Lifeless! I say you left me, I say you left me lifeless
Lifeless! I say you left me, I say you left me lifeless

I felt her image sorrowed face nods to the ground
Grey clouds suffering was her sound
She screamed deep, but desire claimed her collapse
Gone to nothing then her frigid mask

Her own remorse, her lifeless companion, tongue stained
In duplicity's song, gentle hands stifle, I perishing suffering
This isn't her! this could never be her

Diminishing, forsaken all, I
Offering entirety, left empty to cry
She cried with me! Danced with me and kissed me
She was filthy in lies, gentle, always

Lifeless! I say you left me, I say you left me lifeless
Lifeless! I say you left me, I say you left me lifeless
Lifeless! I say you left me, I say you left me lifeless
Lifeless! I say you left me, I say you left me lifeless

Watch me rise

I say you left me, I say you left me, I say you left me lifeless
I say you left me, I say you left me, I say you left me lifeless
Lifeless! Lifeless! Lifeless! Lifeless! I say you left me
