Hot Gates

There is no great thing to stop and sing

Waiting for the rain

And this perfect pill it's all too much

On the edge again

Don't look away

Couldn't help but note the coldest thing

In your precious face

Why do you always speak when you have no grace

In your precious face

But even in the dark
I saw you were the only one alone

But these hot gates you spent your victory on
Though your swore you wouldn't do this anymore

And I can't be for you
All of the things you want me to
But I will love you constantly

There's precious little else to me
And though we cry we must stay alive

Another fragile edge and a tender sound

And then you went aground

Near a duller blade a promise out of sight

There's nothing here for you tonight

Even in the dark
I saw you were the only one alone

But these hot gates you spent your victory on
Though your swore you wouldn't do this anymore

And I can't be for you
All of the things you want me to
But I will love you constantly

There's precious little else to me
And though we cry we must stay alive

Let my blood only run out when my world decides
There is no way out of your only life

So run on run on
