She was really out of sight
In a dimly lit hotel lobby
It was an unusual night
Those bastards were killing for a hobby
She was lighter than the air
I lifted her upon my shoulder
But her balance wasn’t there
‘Cus there were things I never told her
We were inspecting injuries
I carried her all around
A bending of the knees
And we lifted off the ground
I had a hole in my head
And she was missing teeth
We left that ugly scene behind
I spent a moment in her gravity
You know that she could barely stand
So she leaned against my body
We cleaned our bloody hands
She laid her innocence upon me
She said she wanted me to stay
So we made a little bed
Out of promises and clay
And slept on what we never said
She was the only dream I’ve ever had
We were hiding from those killers under heavy sleeping bags
She was protected, you know I really tried
What a shame that in the end everybody died
