burning barrier lyrics and music by kelvin stewart

i lit a cigarette
to form a burning barrier between you and I
let the accusations fly
and it didnt help one bit, given our history
i cant say im surprised, theres no pity in your eyes
consider the lilies in the field, just one more time
their nakedness revealed by herbicide
they come with plowshores sharpened to excise
my senseless joy cut me down to size
i cant object
your every word is chosen with exacting taste
your fucking up my escape
and its irresistible, i cant fight you anymore than i can fight the sun
you smile with glass beneath your tongue
your stare sharpens as though you know what i mean
but i suppose it can never hurt to be more precise
you say a saint is a sinner like a sculpture is a stone
but you stole my chisel and left me completely alone
i cant prepare for it it
for each time i see you its still a surprise
you're lucifer with painted lips and eyes
its just like you said: the sweetest of the batch is always kept back for bait-
it glistens why we hid and wait.
