gunpowder - lovelorn


 I wish I could've been

One of your Aurora Borealis dreams

Pirouetting in violet and green

And syncopating your breathing


But I'm soldiering on like I don't feel a thing

Our stairwell rendezvous are losing their tint

Now we fade into black, still holding hands

Our folkloric tragedy makes us come back


Shame is the trigger to ruin

And I'm the bullet left fuming

But you pull it anyway

Gunpowder stains in our alleyways


Trust is the trigger to fooling

And you're the bullet still leaving

But I pull it anyway

Gunpowder stains and now we're castaways


It was just one of those things

Cider brooks and suburban dreams

I never would've ever been

A photographic memory amongst your things


But I'm still soldiering on like I don't feel a thing

My fingerprints on your soul have started fading


Shame is the trigger to ruin

And I'm the bullet left fuming

But you pull it anyway

Gunpowder stains in our alleyways


Trust is the trigger to fooling

And you're the bullet still leaving

But I pull it anyway

Gunpowder stains and now we're castaways


I'm dancing barefoot in the moonlight, rust stains on a silver soaked goodbye

Could it be just like I had feared? Footprints following me into the darkest nights

A foray into forbidden seas of crimson Californian dreams

Wouldn't it be nice to reach out for something real


Shame is the trigger to ruin

And I'm the bullet left fuming

But you pull it anyway

Gunpowder stains in our alleyways


Trust in the trigger to fooling

And you're the bullet still leaving

But I pull it anyway

Gunpowder stains and now we're castaways.
