He looked into her empty eyes For something he could recognize But all he saw was smoke and mirrors Or maybe that was walls of fear She knew the road she walked was stained Her life was spinning 'round the drain And so he pressed his fingertips Against her alabaster wrist Tonight I'm just to tired to pray Last night I swore I'd pray today Tomorrow I know what I'll say There's just no time to find the way The hour glass is spilling sand I wish that you could understand I share that wish you really do? A love like this will bleed the truth I'm sure of it, I'm sure of it There has to be a cure for it If tragedy killed our love song Why do I feel that heart keep beating on? A bobby pin a false eyelash The scar that runs along your back Those dead blue eyes And nightmare screams it's time We had the sweetest dreams The toxin now is running scared This love sickness was not prepared For something no one else could see Infection dreads this enemy I'm sure of it, I'm sure of it There has to be a cure for it If tragedy killed our love song Why do I feel that heart keep beating on? The circulations coming back The eyelids twitch and fade from black The heart that felt completely Numb is pounding steady as a drum
