Ruby Cumulous

(album: Gemini, Her Majesty - 2014)

Once my lover, now she's dressed up in gold
Silk and cedar, sleeping out in the cold

Got my badge, got my gun, got my anger

She didn't wanna sleep alone that night and I said
"Who would say no? Who would say no?"
I didn't answer when she called that night
Oh my god, twenty years old, twenty years old
Now when I close my eyes I see her face
Cause the love you give is the love you take
And the heart you hold is the one you break

It's my behavior that I abhor
I was her savior and she was my scapegoat

Ruby cumulous, in an alley alone
Dial the number, but there's nobody home

Got my foil, got my fire, got my sorrow

She didn't wanna sleep alone that night and I said
"Who would say no? Who would say no?"
I didn't answer when she called that night
Oh my god, twenty years old, twenty years old
Now when I close my eyes I see her face
Cause the love you give is the love you take
And the heart you hold is the one you break

It's my behavior that I abhor
I was her savior and she was my scapegoat
Like paper angels, strung in a row
Drunk with inertia, they never grow old
