Last Blues for Bloody Knuckles

"My precious wife

I am in shambles

I am crumbling

I am

Was it something I did

Bid the tide

To climb so high

That it ripped our shore up?

I can fix it

I swear

If you trust me

I am old and I am rusting

But I care

I care"

"My precious wife

We made a promise

Pledged our flesh to be one

How can you doubt a love

That stood so proud as we raised our children?

I believe in

It still

It has faltered

and it is faded

But I know

It's there

it's there.

And how'd it change?

The way you thought of me?

How strange to think we once were lovers

Now we've wrapped the past up in broken glass

And when you speak my name you shudder

Oh precious wife

Please believe this

I'll revive it

I will

We've built a family from this marriage

Why would you tear it apart?"

"Oh

speak now

precious

Your silence screams

You're giving in to failure

Hear me

The promise that you made

Was meant to live forever

Until our deathbed

You're not allowed to change your mind

Was there nothing in that promise?

Are you listening to me?"

"Oh

husband

I could not control it

Husband

I could not abstain

One cannot stop the wind from blowing

Nor refuse the falling rain

Love stirred up a storm inside me

Wrapped its arms around my waist

I failed you

Dear

I'm sorry

Oh

I'm sorry

There was nothing I could do

No

there was nothing I could

Sure as the rain will fall

Some love just fails without a reason"

There is nothing you can do

There is nothing you can do

There is nothing you can do

There is nothing you can do
