Hook:

Pay no attention to my rhetoric
Read my body language so you can get the sense of it
Words on flesh have always said it the best
And If you don't wanna be overheard then don't talk with the rest


1st Verse

She had dream tatooed on the inside of her arm
while he had sin inked on the back of his hand
both of their names were scrawled in the sand
They were waiting for the tide to come and wash away their plans

Wait-there's gotta be better way gotta be another path
each letter led to a clash
She had five he had three lovers quarrel I'll let you do the math

Living in this city they drink rain water
They can't shoot the moon so they shoot the clouds
They don't even notice when the sun comes around
and they feel superhuman when their tat's read aloud

What-should been done wasn't
He moved outta state she moved in with her cousin
Done-was the only word that the situation could summon


2nd Verse

Love- is the only thing absent
Dependence is present while they're sipping their absynth
Sin-is evident every time he takes a sip
She can't escape the fact she hates him

Waiting all night for a call or a visit
and when the phone rings she checks it and it isn't him
Dreams-obscured by a veil of cotton
At times she thinks that they're to damn rotten

Then she pulls up her sleeve to the letters gleam
The D to the R the E to the A M
She wishes she could say they'd never be hidden again
But then she'd be lying to you and all of her friends

Work-says they could care less
But teachers and parents all say it's proof that she's careless
Torn between original thought and group awareness
She's chasing the ghost of that thing we call fairness


3rd Verse

Right Now-finished witnessed by the rain clouds
and she wonders how she's gonna keep the pain down
it's the same crowd pointing fingers from the time before
when sin held the upper hand and pinned her to the floor

No-she would scream in his face
cause sin plays a hand when dreams are getting erased
It was that hand-that misplace her plans in the first place
and burnt her aspirations in the worst way

first day back on what she deems the right track
Bruised but not broken she decides to fight back
The light in her eyes sheds light upon the lies
and helps to find the house in which redemption lies

Found true focus it's what the locusts lack
No hocus pocus just hopes inside a knapsack
Sins diminished and she's glad for that
cause she finally found love in letters of faded black
