Gold

I spend every waking minute With thoughts and melodies Circling, wandering But never quite settling It's nomadic motivation I just can't hold down I needed inspiration Something to turn me around Because all I can taste are the cigarettes On her lips all I want to do is feel Time is not your ally All it does is take away I raise the white flag No surrender is a myth Emotions always betray me and This wasn't part of the plan Now I'm sitting at the window Listening to the rain Lashing at the glass With the sound a freight train I walk outside and it hits me Like a bullet to the face A moment of utter clarity That disappeared without a trace Because all I can taste are the cigarettes On her lips all I want to do is feel Time is not your ally All it does is take away I raise the white flag No surrender is a myth Emotions always betray me and This wasn't part of the plan I've been living off a diet Of sleeping pills and menthol The gaps in my armour start to show And I hope that one day you're happy That you find everything you're looking for And if there is a God Then I hope that He bears witness Because all I can taste are the cigarettes On her lips all I want to do is feel Time is not your ally All it does is take away I raise the white flag No surrender is a myth Emotions always betray me and This wasn't part of the plan This wasn't part of my plan This wasn't part of your plan This wasn't part of our plan This wasn't part of my plan
