melted butter on my lips

a lifetime on those hips

light, gentle tongue slips

just as my heart does flips

-

passion fascination fashion

-

my lips melted on butter

those hips on a lifetime

tongue slips light gentle

flips does my heart just as

-

fashion fascination passion

-

lips melt into hips

tongue slips, heart flips

aggressive regressive fascination disassociation

partnership companionship situationship

ship that sailed or sale-d away

away your lips and hips

away your tongue and heart

my lips and hips left to decay

my tongue and heart thrown astray

Captain my Captain of my own s-t-inking ship

trust overboard,

sinful overload,

guilty overloard

-

passion dissection

fascination frustration

faded fashion

-

capsized icebergised

passion, obsession, confession after confession

rejection no exception

-

and broken bonds but bonds still means hope

hope for sailing again, without sale-ing

but the bonds

that hold tight the two

broken bonds but bonds still

and broken bonds but bonds still means hope

hope for sailing again, without sale-ing

-

passion fascination fashion

fashion fascination passion

aggressive regressive fascination disassociation

partnership companionship situationship

passion dissection fascination frustration faded fashion

fashion passion fascination reunification

-

-

sometimes the ending is not an ending at all

-

there is no need for profoundity in a cycle

try saying that when your drunk said the punk to the skunk

nigh sighing when you're cut in a rut and your mind is shut
