Can't Live Another Day

The hold is slipping now
From the moment’s plaited trust
Balanced between
The cherished
And the unfamiliar
Lust.

Looking on your china skin
I long to break it in my way

I think I know I’ll never die
Because I can’t live another day.

I cannot live another day
Without a happily ever once upon.
Though I’ll never know you
Like I do today
What’s left here once the moment’s gone?

I hate this uncertain feeling
That I love so well
There’s a
Heaven
In  your touch
But the neighbourhood border’s
Hell.

Please take my confession:
I fear I’ll kill you in this game.

But you know I’ll never die
Because I can’t live another day.

   Lady, what am I supposed to say
   When everything I’ve counted on
   Won’t make it through the day?

   And I think lately
   I’m the one that god forgot.
   So I’ll light another cigarette,
   Take another shot

   For all the things I cannot fake
   May I die before I wake.

What if I could give you this gift I have in me?
Would you give up all that you’ve known
And all that you may be?

I don’t choose my pleasures any more
They find me as they may.

But without you here I’ll never die
And can’t live another day.
