Pearls in Dirt

Your Hands so Cold

Forget my past in your game

This is just a bruise

This is just the mirror meant to show the truth

Dusty eyes set free to rise, changing over soon

Dusty eyes to see now the changes in you

Your hand’s so cold… forgive me

I can't breathe this poison

It strangles little girls

The marks of pain remaining

Upon her face a pearl

A trail for all, a sinner’s ball

Stare with hungry eyes

A trail for all the sinners

Staring as you rise

Your hand’s so cold… forgive me

All that's left until the end

All that's left, our time be damned

Your hand’s so cold

Oh, forgive me

This is the mirror

It reflects what is real

Sinners stare as you rise

And they kill with their eyes

This is the end

Our time may be damned

As you trip, as you change

As you slip out of range

This is the mirror

It reflects what is real

Sinners stare as you rise

And they kill with their eyes

This is the end

Our time will be damned

As you trip, as you change

As you slip

Your hand’s so cold… forgive me

All that's left until the end

All that's left, our time be damned

Your hand’s so cold

Margriet

Sour Ground

She wrote her name in sand

And lived a lie within

The sadness and sorrow

For the loss that came again

Water washed the tears away

But the emptiness stayed

Tamed itself with outrage

And spit the bitterness away

This water won't feed the earth

Nothing grows on sour ground

She cannot calm the screams

To silence in her head

Staring with her empty eyes

Try to feel what she had

She wrote her name in sand

And loved a lie within

Where beauty can be cruel

And beauty takes it all

This water won't feed the earth

Nothing grows on sour ground

I will swim with you

And play amongst the waves

Where mermaids will be singing

Where the sweet song remains

Like a comfort whisper

To be together again

She wrote her name in sand

And believed her lie within

This water won't feed the earth

Nothing grows on sour ground

This water won't feed the earth

Nothing grows on sour ground

Margriet
