encante

as the evening rolled
we couldn't wipe the smiles from our faces
if we'd wanted to
you had a different plan
involving words

you spoke of gold
but offered only coal
we are fighting ourselves
and we love to lose

i refuse to head down this road again
i found no verity in their bloated maxim
they are just sounds that shape lives

she did it again
slice the lie
dice the lie
until I'm left with sand

too late for apprehension
feel at home within the stone
don't you?
you don't have to say for me to know it
you don't have to draw

as the evening rolled
we finally wiped the smiles from our faces.
it wasn't as hard as we'd thought
all the while.

you spoke of gold
but offered only coal
we are fighting ourselves
and we love to lose

i refuse to head down this road again
i found no verity in their bloated maxim
they are just sounds that shape lives

erase you
from this day
you made it ugly
anyway

you don't have to say
you don't have to draw
