I wanted to stay forever, but you left me. Alone in the darkness I stood waiting, but you never came. I knew hearts never beat together, but I didn't believe it. Where did the trust go? I thought I knew you.The corruption of original sin i stoo great. One sin within the other, exploding to greater levels. Who will save us now? Here's to the girls with the grandmother faces. One day I'll join them all writhed and wrinkled. I never realized how deep the sorrow could descend. The girl across the room, velvet blouse, Levi's tight across her waist. She is the mold with which men shape the perfect woman.But by morning, only melted clay is left. Some can gaze and not be sick, but not me. I am strong, with marble around my edges. You once told me I must believe three things. God, gravity, and fate. To which do I turn now? Don't leave me alone. But then, you never were one to stay. Content against your father's will, you will be content to stnad against me. Hearts never beat together, Sorrow decends deep, I wanted to stay forever, Here's to the girls with the grandmother faces, One last drink together.
