a familiar face
in a strange place
one twinkly eye
and other sad eye
I forget so quickly
as I live my life
I remember you
Lipstick traces
on my cigarette
lipstick traces
and your silhouette
smoke rings on my mind
blowing all the time
smoking by the bathroom window
two of us, locked inside
Lipstick traces
on your single bed
lipstick traces
deeper than regret
smoke gets in your eyes
I want you all the time
hiding by the bathroom window
two of us
locked
inside
and outside
my mind is slipping away
inside
and outside
I see traces of your taste
Blue misty river
she swims in your tongue
in Lurasidone
once again
Blue misty river
in need of your smoke
in Lurasidone
once again
Moonlight in my mouth
Moonlight in my mouth
Happy not knowing
where she might lead me
happy just going
running with the free
let it crash over me
like the waves of the sea
let it crash over me
those lips taste like tears
Happy not knowing
where she might lead me
happy just blowing
running with the free
let it crash over me
like the waves of the sea
let it crash over me
those lips taste like
pink soju
