lyrics

7) Where Do You Go - m.litton

Where do you go, Romeo, when your Juliet no longer speaks
She stares out the window all night at life in the streets
When the moment is over, you look in her eyes
And your hearts no longer sing
And the unrhymed verses your write her are passionless things
Where do you go when the world you’ve known
Colors her sweet flesh with paint
And you no longer care for what she is but fear for what she ain’t

Chorus: Do you tear your flesh to the bone
Scratching ‘n clawing at the stone
Chipping at the mortar in the wall like the Count of Montecristo
While the keeper of the keys sleeps soundly in the hall
I’ll escape, someday I’ll escape from it all

Where do you go when the morning awakens
On a mirror reflecting the past
And you measure each day the same from the first to the last
When you want to surrender, lay your soul down
And kiss the ground in defeat
But the invincible foe merely chides you back on your feet
(chorus)
