lyrics

A FAINT SMILE

Cheek to cheek we both smile
And tear our lies apart
Because they are too sly
And fill our glittering eyes

Your words rape me and sap me at night,
But I’m smitten, smitten, smitten with them
I’m inept, smug, my remarks so snide
Getting on your nerves over and over again
But there’s no reason to be angry
Your eyes will swallow me
They’re much too bright, much too hungry
I’m not able to disappear

I’m afraid…
These lifeless eyes are mine
As cold as eyes of ice
You should have warmed them up
You should warm them up…

I can’t stand sleeping with open eyes
I hate weeping wide-eyed with gloomy sights
The kiss-shaped looks you should pull into your heart
I’m quite desolate, aren’t I?

Cheek to cheek we both doze
And tear our hearts apart
Because they were too sad, I suppose
And those nights were too dark

…I still don’t know what I’m always looking for
Even Boozing is not what it used to be…
It all makes me weaker and I try to forget it all
But I know it’s impossible just to sleep around…

Cheek to cheek and side by side
We will be no more
My plans are all destroyed
Walled up in imagination once and for all
