Pass You By

You shuffled your feet through the dusty cracks And left the door wide open In a deep dull plume of lust attacks The trees died from your arson The shot was fired and our love was tired Of tests you put us through I stopped in my tracks For the light was black And I couldn’t pass you by. The spikes of love cannot be trusted Your silent rocks of lies Are now decaying from your acid And led your mind clockwise Now the days are short and the nights are long With sleepless motion pools Your whole life of passion was always wrong And the seasons are so cruel I can’t wash away the dust of us And the blameless eyes of shame I still can't pass you by.
