Helpless Kiss

The dusk it has fallen, the comet has crashed The stolen statues have lost their heads The great wall of china is melting in the rain Stacks of words are burning like Pompei The fog in our bedroom was thicker than before I called your name and it felt like war And we ran with our shoes off to the pavement's end To the place of our birth at the end of the earth Helpless kiss, I'm rudderless How do you intend to unbreak this? We're a paper fleet in an arctic freeze On the skin of an endless open sea In boxes in the basement, we buried our hurt We were keeping score, we were saving our words We touched like flowers, frozen in wreaths We fell like stones, we were running in our sleep Helpless kiss, I'm rudderless How do you intend to unbreak this? We're a paper fleet in an arctic freeze On the skin of an endless open sea Happy endings are dependent on where the film is cut Noah's Ark and the Titanic are different scenes of the same plot I will not tear apart your photo, I will not desecrate your grave Because I know they are not responsible for the time when they were made Helpless kiss, I'm rudderless How do you intend to unbreak this? You're a paper fleet in an arctic freeze On the skin of an endless open sea --- Helpless Kiss - Antje Duvekot
