Statues

When you look at this stony face
Tell me what do you see
Do you still see me, can you see this parasite
When you look at these dead eyes
Dried up and colorless
The eyes of the motherless enjoy no company
In the gallery of my mind
Lost in the sands of time
The shadows and sounds that remind
The statues of the the past go deep tonight
When you look at this old soul
Is he trapped in the teeth of his tears
Too far gone to hear his heart still beating
When you dream about your lover’s laugh
Is he able to smile
It might take him a while,
I’m sorry, if he doesn’t like it too much
In the gallery of my mind
Lost in the sands of time
The shadows and sounds that remind
The statues of the the past go deep tonight
When you love these broken bones
Can you feel them mend
I don’t care to pretend but I slept with an angel
When you kiss these hard-layer lips
The only time they’re warm
Since the day I was born I felt the chill of love
In the gallery of my mind
Lost in the sands of time
The shadows and sounds that remind
The statues of the the past go deep tonight
