I Never Met Another Gemini - The Bled

Slowly we peel away the layers and the light seeps through the cracks

You whispered softly in my ear the birth of morning’s upon us, dear

The bandages feel upon the floor

And there was no one in that room

It’s quiet down the hallway where the doctors wash their hands

Behind my eyes I feel the hollow jabs of your morphine kiss

Your anesthetic voice is autographed upon my bones

This reception died in vein.

In vain

A tarnished angel leaves her ghost on the surface

A jealous daughter starves to death for the mother

As I awaited your return.

I wait for your return

It seems the only way that I will ever feel alive

Throw myself into my injuries and close my eyes

I’d give anything to feel alive

And I will wait for you tonight

The scalpel carves a map for you
