Promises (lyrics)

Truths quietly spoken reflect promises already broken
As spiders crawl across the floor of stagnant emotions
Spinning tales of love's deceit inside a wicked web of lies
Held together delicately by gossamer threads of silence

Inside your house of fallen cards chaste ghosts dance
Amongst lifes fading memories hanging on the wall
Pretty pictures of days gone past love that didn't last
Life amidst phallic ruins of long forgotten yesteryears

No don't you cry me a river of badly spent emotions
To drown our past in an ocean of self-created tears
Or I'll rip your heart out with my scorned hands
Oh I'm so tired of being love's ingenue for you

Tired of keeping myself calm inside this storm
So I'm gonna exit out the back door of betrayal
While you exorcise past loves from your mind
Don't you wonder who will crawl out from behind

Truths quietly spoken reflect promises already broken
As you sit inside the never ending chaos of delirium
Chewing on hallucegenic thoughts time never bought
But rather left you begging to borrow another tomorrow

As you walk down life's sidewalk of discontent
One foot in the gutter one hand reaching for the stars
The other foot tripping over an emotional red carpet
While your other hand tries to hold regrets at bay

Oh why don't you go crawl under the rock you came from
Along with your apprehensions bound around frigid tensions
You keep trapped inside that lukewarm heart of yours
Oh I'm so tired of this endless emotional game of tug 'o war

Tired of keeping myself calm inside this storm
So I'm gonna exit out the back door of betrayal
While you exorcise past loves from your mind
Don't you wonder who will crawl out from behind

Truths quietly spoken reflect promises already broken
Like a fragile china doll misstepping to it's fall
Shattering into a thousand tiny fractured pieces
Not even love can put her back together again

Not even time can put us back together again
Not even hope can interlock pieces of our puzzle
That post-coital charades after party masquerades
Broke into a thousand little jagged pieces

I'm cutting these ties binding me to this archaic love
No longer will I live amongst your one too many
Be prioritized by erratic whims of your fickle libido
Oh I'm so tired of playing spin the poly-bottle

Tired of keeping myself calm inside this storm
So I'm gonna exit out the back door of betrayal
While you exorcise past loves from your mind
Don't you wonder who will crawl out from behind

Truths quietly spoken reflect promises already broken
Under sanguine skies that blackened empty dreams
You secretly kept inside your wooden box of hope
That was misplaced along with our forgotten love

Silence has created a chasm between time and space
Things will never be the way they used to be, I know
So I'll leave this all behind erase you from my mind
Pretend we never were as tomorrows pass me by

Time has duly hung our relationship inside fate's noose
Our love has become strange fruit hanging from a tree
Blowing in the passing winds of continual change
Oh I'm so tired of assuaging wounds of our love

Tired of keeping myself calm inside this storm
So I'm gonna exit out the back door of betrayal
While you exorcise past loves from your mind
Don't you wonder who will crawl out from behind
