Is it as easy as that? A momentary contact
Of eyes cross the room, incendiary contract
Signed in the gloom, you’re shaken from the impact
You’re not coming back, no you’re not coming back from this
Is it as simple as this? a fleeting little kiss
Stolen at first and returned with interest
Weak to the thirst, becoming an accomplice
You’re not coming back, no you’re not coming back from
This time you’ve crossed the point of no return
You can’t go back, the bridge is burned
Into your face, into your skin
An ugly scar displays your sins
She can’t take anymore, she’s headed for the door
Tried to pursue but you’re glued to the floor
Paid what you’re due, I think you knew the score
But it hurts when it hits, no you’re not coming back from
This time you’ve crossed the point of no return
You can’t go back, the bridge is burned
Into your face, into your skin
An ugly scar displays your sins
Once, so long ago, she called me king
Now i’m not anything
I saw the life that i saw for myself
Gather dust on the shelf
Late at night, wrapped up in feeling
Pictures dance on the ceiling
I try to chase them with a broken wing
Once, she called me king
