Never Was

The clock ticks backwards
I feel frozen in time
locked in a cell

no parole or early release
my feelings paralyzed
they will never see the light of day

I've retraced my steps
covered them with liquid ease
painted crimson like the passion

that licks at my soul
never to be realized
I retreat into myself

cover the pain
with liquor
the lover I know best

takes me to the place
of dreams
where we could be one

making love under the moon
casting no reflection
where prying eyes can't see

the lust I feel for you
will never be sated
so I take another shot of liquor

ease into a mellow state
and for now forget
what never was or could be
