I can't cut these teeth for you

I can't unlock these doors for you.

I can't cross these streets for you.

I can't undo these dreams for you.

I can't cut these keys for you.

I can't uncross these bones for you.

I can't stop these tears for you.

I can't build these walls for you.

I can't see these stars for you.

I can't speak these lines for you.

I can't fill these veins for you.

I can't try these wings for you.




All in all, we shall forget
Promise to forgive-me-not
As the dust rises from the street
As the mist rises from the sea

All in all, we shall forget
I am to take the long way round
As the decision is already made, I watch the ripples tear the lake
As the wind is already blowing, I undo my hair

I know I'm living on borrowed words
The one I call you has changed.
