Promises
Thony Lyrics

This time is rather too much you have
You have been given too many chances this time

The right once more
To deny me yet again

I crowed over you
I boasted about my superiority over you

And you kept creeping
But you persisted slowly and cautiously

I'm tied up by you
You have me bound and trapped

Even if you're away by miles
Even if you are physically distant from me

I'm too tired love
I am exhausted, my dear

But I'm in thrall to you
But I am still under your spell and control

We have broken all the promises we made
We have failed to keep our commitments to each other

Both waiting for the right
Both of us waiting for the perfect

Moment and words to say
Opportunity and words to express ourselves

I'll get nowhere
I am making no progress

But the more I'm
But despite this

Overwhelmed the more I'm here
Feeling burdened, but still present

To live
To keep going and surviving

This feverish desire
This intense, passionate longing

As under influence of clasped hands
Like we are under the spell of hand-holding

And waiting for a sign
And waiting for a signal

We are resigned at this sight our life deprived
We are accepting of this bleak reality where we lack something important

Of the strength to fight
Of the energy to resist

For promises for visions warned by shifty plans
For commitments and dreams that were not well-conceived

Of this decreased desire of fucking promises
Of this diminished longing for broken commitments

The fucking promises we both deceived
The commitments that we both lied about

Words have lost their sense
Words have become meaningless

That's beneath you
You are too good for that

Beneath the scars
Below the wounds

By fits and starts
In an irregular, sporadic manner

We both know we both failed this way
We both acknowledge our mutual failure
