Lifelines

I'm sitting in the corner
Forgotten and lost
All I've got is a telephone
And your laughing ghost

I'm ten thousand miles from life
I'm ten thousand miles from you
From your abyss-like eyes
From your vicious look

Telephone lines are like lifelines
My one has been torn by you
I bet you can hear my cries
You laugh and you're saying we're through

And I wear a cynic smile
Trying to look viperous and cool
But I'm empty, so empty and aching inside
You are my life, I am your fool

I'm trying to escape from the rain
But it exists inside
I never knew I could feel so cutting pain
Waking and calling your name in the night

I remember your slender grace
I can almost see your smile
Feel the warmth of your embrace
I'm dying in these memories of mine

There is nothing but silence now
Instead of the one I love
The days are passing in one grey row
And I want to get rid of my life

I am yours 'til my end
I remember us talking, fucking
And I want you to know, my lover and friend
That without you I'm nothing
