Victim - B! Machine

One tells me of the past I see

She is no longer opaque to me

Drinking down tomorrow’s memory

I’ve spoken twice in shallow tones

Of love’s cruel mystery

Of orbits victim to decay

And the grace of the bullet shot my way

Our truths are incompatible

But I fear you less than life

Lived in a dream for two

Lost to this world without you

And my friend’s friend

She aches inside

With a bittersweet

That her beauty hides

My friend’s friend

She aches inside

And the saddest taste

Haunts her eyes

Day into night

Night into dreams

We darken the windows

We seal the seems

For an hour more

Of a false twilight

For an hour more

Of our lives tonight
