Ballads of Beauty.1. "I only have words and strings".

I only have words and strings

To vent out my fury and pain

To box black shadows on rings

Where sinew and muscle are in vain

I’m a fighter for a lost cause

I’m a wise man of waning mind

I am stuck in your sliding doors

You can’t see I love you? You’re blind

You call me a liar

You call me a sham

But I’ll be damned

If I lose you

My lifeblood, my all

Do not let me fall

I only have urge and lust

To prove you I’m actually yours

‘Cause you say words are nothing but dust

And the music’s just making it worse

So take body as body of evidence

If my soul is too small of a gift

Where the image of you’s taking residence

Where the dreams of togetherness drift

You call me a dreamer

You call me a fool

You’re so damn cool

And I’ll lose you

My lifeblood, my all

You did let me fall.
