Lyrics
While standing naked at the window watching the night
The thunder crashing all the lightening and the rain
I wondered if I could or even if I should
Attempt to see you or be with you ever again
Your smile is painted on a thousand faces
Still lying in my mouth still blowing through my hair
My legs are strong but they won't carry me away
Keep hiding sheets of lead what's that the things you said
While eyes are heavy they won't promise me to sleep
Your smile is painted on a thousand places
What of me now as I fade still life goes by
Cold sweat you haunt my skin
Your fingers echoing your name is written here in blood of life of sin?
Still burning on my bed your light goes out I'm dead
Who says the heads the law has nothing left to break
Your smile is painted on a thousand dreams I can't forget
What of me now as I fade still life goes by
What of me now here I stay and still life goes by
