Upon The Night

Indecency is neighborly when expelling common decency
And hands that lower shades are held by hands that share the blame.

Hands bound by cold desire are often brought about by fires
Unattended and allowed to burn our sins in the flames

Chorus:
And I traced your body with my fingertips
And we took out our hatred on each other’s backs and hips
And in the middle of a dream, we made love, upon the night.

With the flags of piracy at full mast you’ve given up on what’s the past,
And stealing one another’s lovers seems so commonplace.

And on the day you beg rebirth, will you pray for all that praying’s worth?
Will you break down and ask forgiveness right to his face?

Chorus

Bridge:
Welcome to the world where no one knows your name
And no one cares of consequence or the sins you proclaim, upon the night

Now when this lust has all run dry and when the passion all but dies
And nothing left inside of you allows you to move on

Familiar faces seem so soothing, memories will keep you moving
Long after the loveliness of happiness is gone

Chorus
