On My Knees

On my knees
I'm praying
Breathing
Laughing
Screaming

 

Darkness is my camouflage
Hiding with a smile
Cheshire I put to shame
Drink the night so vile

 

Laughter in the painful places
Burning bodies
Friendly faces

 

Rhythm seeks to find it's hold
Binding hearts of stone and cold

There's fog on the pane
Sweat on your lips
Love in your throat 
And scars on your hips

 

Bruises and bleeding
Moaning and screaming

 

Pain and the pleasure
When will this end?
Stretching the measure
No love for just friends
