Memories burst through me like flames through an old building
Erupting in a violent display of nostalgia
Firemen trembling, too terrified to come near me and be consumed by the unholy fountain
Who am I that the eyes of unsuspecting lovers should awaken, then die,
Just to leave me on my own?
I have watched the changing of faces,
Felt the aching places where shadows only go but I go on
Through the dark alleys where men's eyes are vacant
Into the heart of a city with no soul
I found my solitude and embraced it,
Knew the part of me no one else can know
Who am I that the eyes of unsuspecting lovers should awaken, then die,
Just to leave me on my own?
I have watched the changing of faces,
Felt the aching places where shadows only go
I have stood by the door as the car drove away,
Woken up in the night with the moon on my face,
And wondered out loud what it means to be alone
I have faced down the devil with an unloaded gun,
Fashioned a bullet form passion and blood that spiraled through him
And left me on my own
