The Night Won't Lie

Midnight knows my name

I kept your letter in my pocket

sunlight bleached the ink away

You said I'd forgive the silence

I left before you found the words

I'm slipping back through spaces

where your ghost knows every line

You say I'm burned in memory

I say I'm just hard to untie

Ashes in my locket

I wore your lies like gold

Flame-fed promises

Burned me colder than alone

Love's a losing train

And I'm riding every stop

Ashes in my locket

And I can't make them drop

Your photograph is cracked with creases

But I still trace your crooked smile

I swear I'll throw it in the river

But I've been swearing that awhile

Too late... too deep

My secrets don't sleep

Don't say you miss me

You only miss control

Ashes in my locket

I wore your lies like gold

Ashes in my locket

Burned me colder than alone

Ashes, ashes... in my locket... colder than alone.

Ashes, ashes... in my locket... colder than alone.
