Hot Gates

  • There is no great thing, to stop and sing
    Waiting for the rain
    And this perfect pill, it's all too much
    On the edge again
    Don't look away
    Couldn't help but note the coldest thing
    In your precious face
    Why do you always speak when you have no grace
    In your precious face

    But even in the dark I saw you were the only one alone
    But these hot gates you spent your victory on
    Though your swore you wouldn't do this anymore
    And I can't be for you all of the things you want me to
    But I will love you constantly
    There's precious little else to me
    And though we cry, we must stay alive

    Another fragile edge, and a tender sound
    And then you went aground
    Near a duller blade, a promise out of sight
    There's nothing here for you tonight

    But even in the dark I saw you were the only one alone
    But these hot gates you spent your victory on
    Though your swore you wouldn't do this anymore
    And I can't be for you all of the things you want me to
    But I will love you constantly
    There's precious little else to me
    And though we cry, we must stay alive

    Let my blood only run out when my world decides
    There is no way out of your only life
    So run on, so run! Writer/s: BENJAMIN WALTER DAVID LOVETT, EDWARD JAMES MILTON DWANE, MARCUS OLIVER JOHNSTONE MUMFORD, WINSTON AUBREY ALADAR MARSHALL
