A Pharmacy in Paris - Apologies I Have None

This confession has meant nothing

There’s no more barriers to cross

Nothing is redeemed

I’ve gained no deeper knowledge of myself

A broken empty vessel

A lung that is lacking air

You could take my hand and feel my flesh

Gripping yours but I simply am not there

Gone without a warning

I go down without a fight

But you and I

We’d level each other out

I was the pills that kept you steady

You the opiates that talked me down

All we had to do was try

And make each other laugh

And let love and medication see us through the harder parts

You’re not the type of woman

That ever likes to say things clearly

But you know that I’m the kind of guy

That needs to have it spelt out of me

And it’s not the sort of thing that ever

Really seems to just get better

No parents and no friends or lovers

Or doctors seem to ever have an answer

It comes without a warning

And I go down without a fight

But you and I

We’d level each other out

I was the ghost in your machine

You were the chick in the armour of my self doubt

All we had to do was try

To make each other laught

It’s all we had

Love and anger they share the same bed

The same body heat warms both of them

They rise together as we come together and it makes a mess of our heads

We’ve sen it before

And we’ll see it again

Expectations cause a rift

And we stand of different sides

Until the crack becomes a chasm

An unconquerable divide

And we rarely see

Eye to eye

Maybe a kid could sort us out

We could take everything we love about each other

And it into someone else

Take all that extra energy

That we would use to fight

And pour it into the foundations of

The building of a life

I can see it now

Almost close to perfect

It could be you, her and I

Living by a pharmacy in Paris

All we have to do is try to and

Make each other laugh

And let love and medication

See us through the harder parts

Is it ever enough?

Is it ever enough?

Is it ever enough?

Is it ever enough?

Is it ever enough?

Is it ever enough?

Is it ever enough?

Is it ever enough?

Is it ever enough?

Is it ever enough?
