The Tear Garden

Romulus And Venus

The Tear Garden


everything you gave me lies within a 
trunk, within a drawer
I burned one hundred photographs or more
I fled across the ocean wioth another 
face, another name
Nothing but my soul remained the same
But still you came with cases I was 
forced to let you stay
You bought the locks, the box in which 
I lay
I tried to get away from you
I tried to make a break
You always see right through me, 
there's no escape
I can still remember you with coronets, 
white horses
I would run behind you'd flash a sign 
I'd dive
Just to serve you
Night time's turned the lady to a girl 
again, you'd slip away
You tried to kiss my tears away, 
pretend there was no day to take me down
Nightshade, blades, Niagra falls - I 
tried them all six times
You would always run behind me
And you'd find me
Keep me on a leash, on a line
I'm uncomfortably resigned
There's no release till you untie me
Deny me
