The Beautiful Longing Words

I heard the beautiful, longing words,
and knew that's just what comes first.
she's speaking a slow, black hearse,
to carry me out.

I saw the sultry, unending dance,
the vile, inviting glance,
pointed away from me
I know just what this means.

I learned nothing new in truth,
I learned nothing new,
just blood and tears escaping my youth,
and the long red trail leads right back to you.

I knew treachery in an instant,
and memories once so brilliant,
drifted off sadly dim,
into the distance.

I learned nothing new in truth,
I learned nothing new,
just blood and tears escaping my youth,
and the long red trail leads right back to you.

To you
To you
To you

I learned nothing new in truth,
just blood and tears escaping my youth
I learned nothing new in truth,
I learned nothing new in truth,
just blood and tears escaping my youth,
and the long red trail leads right back to you.

I learned nothing new in truth,
I learned nothing new,
just blood and tears escaping my youth,
and the long red trail leads right back to you.

And the long red trail leads right back to you.

Right back to you.
Right back to you.
Right back to you.

I heard the beautiful, longing words,
and knew that's just what comes first.
