Who Were They?

Who was she? Who were they? Where'd you sleep at night? For 30 years you had two homes and lived two separate lives I think of you Driving home twice a night Was it pride, shame, or other Catholic games? Time has a noisy engine I try my best to ignore But how long will it take to forget this? The echoes will not die in me I was born to the night The dim light watched me grow Something always felt wrong but I'd never let it show Sunlight fading Our love growing Growing You lied to me By making me fear the truth I learned to love the darkness Of not knowing And every time you said to me the future couldn't touch us I fell asleep into your arms like words could not be broken You stopped the clock for all of us And we were frozen waiting there like statues of you How long have I been waiting here for you? Like a dog Next to its dead owner How long have I been waiting here for you? Like a dog Strangled at the throat But you had other plans You had nothing planned You Time has a noisy engine I try my best to ignore But how long will it take to forget this? The echoes will not die in me When its time to sleep and I can sift between the memories of you The body's weak, the eyes will fade, but nothing brings me peace
