A lament without hope

Sit in my seat of scoffery
and wear my harlot's heart

on your shoulder as you laugh at me
to play the mockers part

I tried so hard to not be
the fool proverbially

The path to her apartment
was just so damn ea-sy

I lick the dust from my teeth
as I lay at your feet

grasping for the moment
when dust before was sweet


You say we see the same sun
I only see the grave's won

You say we see the same moon
but I see only the night's gloom

You say we see the same blue sky
but I can't look up
I can't even cry

When you shook the dust from your feet
was I on your good way

When you shook the dust from your feet
did I get in the way

When you shook the dust from your feet
then went so far away

Do I ever cross your mind?
Do I ever cross your mind?
