Forgotten Nights Lead To Forgotten Promises

I'm promised to your finger tips
The ones that run through my hair and run across my skin
When there's space between that skin and the cloth that hangs off me
My shirts aren't tucked into my pants you can enter and exit as you please

Your fingerprints left over the seats of our parents cars 
People we forget we know
People that are nearly the blood we rub off our skin and let drain into sinks and bathtubs

I promise you my nights 
When no one can hear us and no and can recall what exactly we've done
Asleep or unaware 
Passed out or might as well be

Your the drug I take
The one that makes me forget
Making me numb

Your lips the cure for the problems I can’t solve
You the reverse to the sins committed that night

I smile for you
And for the numbness you bring

For the morning may come and your name may be gone
