Hot Gates
[Verse 1]There is no great thing, to stop and singWaiting for the rainAnd this perfect pill, it's all too muchOn the edge againDon't look awayCouldn't help but note the coldest thingIn your precious faceWhy do you always speak when you have no graceIn your precious face
[Chorus 1]But even in the dark I saw you were the only one aloneAt these hot gates you spit your vitriolThough you swore you wouldn't do this anymoreAnd I can't be for you all of the things you want me toBut I will love you constantlyThere's precious little else to meAnd though we cry, we must stay alive
[Verse 2]Another fragile edge, and a tender soundAnd then you went agroundNear a duller blade, a promise out of sightThere's nothing here for you tonight
[Chorus 2]But even in the dark I saw you were the only one aloneAt these hot gates you spit your vitriolThough you swore you wouldn't do this anymoreAnd I can't be for you all of the things you want me toBut I will love you constantlyThere's precious little else to meAnd though we cry, we must stay alive
[Verse 3]Let my blood only run out when my world decidesThere is no way out of your only lifeSo run on, so run!
