Absorbed
Absorbed by a city filled with dreams
A big playground for make believe
Say a prayer
Be set free
Close your eyes to see
What there is to believe
Chained by a wonderful deceit
Love the pain if it makes you complete
Live to find life
Die to find what’s right
Sinners come and go
Where all fallen blood drops speckle the snow
Absorbed by the taste of you on my lips
Between my eyes
I want to bring you near
But it’s easier to keep you an arm’s length away
Face tomorrow
Devour today
Here, I try to make the past go away
Like rivers
And letters
Floating in brothels
Message to strangers
Who fell into a sleep
Where locked up they kept pictures
Of their hearts
Absorbed in the safety
In insanity
Reality
Is spent as time escapes me
Time rapes me
As the city absorbs
Maybe I’m free
Maybe just looking to see
