Cold Love

(album: RKS - 2015)

Not whole, not wholly separate, but syncopated, single in our nature
And because of the times, not a word was said when the lights came on
Or a glace given pause at the cost of our desired wrongs
It's second nature to love you, but it's first to die
And we were killed upon waking, killed upon waking to the life
We weren't prepared to live, but rebelled to realize
We were killed upon the pavement, Bonnie we're immortalized in

Blood and cold, cold love, we were still young when the radio lights came on
Elton's on the air, no fair dear that we were still here
In the absence of everything, abstain from fear
If I cry in your arms, it's just some other shit, just some other shit
Just some other things that I've been dealing with
I'd die in your arms, bury me while playing this
Bury me saying: "You were all I ever needed"
And hold me like we're dying from the liquor that we drank down in hotel rooms
To feel warm in cold love

What's harder, harder to say?
That you want me to stay, or that you want me stay unchanged for you?
Chained to a lie, we're the same you and I, we're the same
Well not the same, we hurt differently, but consistent in our pain
Equal and equidistant in the way we laugh to lay bear the weight of our cold love affair
Recalling the days where we were, we weren't, we were
Wrong for the papers, wrong for the dinner tables of the inner rings of the rich and famous anything's
It's gone, not bad, just gone, my bad, just wrong, we had, and we had, and we were then in

Blood and cold, cold love, we were still young when the radio lights came on
Elton's on the air, no fair dear that we were still here
In the absence of everything, abstain from fear
If I cry in your arms, it's just some other shit, just some other shit
Just some other things that I've been dealing with
I'd die in your arms, bury me while playing this
Bury me saying: "You were all I ever needed"
And hold me like we're dying from the liquor that we drank down in hotel rooms
To feel warm

What's harder, harder to say?
That you want me to stay, or that you want me stay unchanged for you?
Chained to a lie, we're the same you and I, we're the same
What's harder, harder to fake?
That you want me to stay, or that you want me stay the same for you?
Chained to a lie. Who's to blame? Let it die. We're the same

In blood and cold, cold love, we were still young when the radio lights came on
Elton's on the air
