Song details: Two People In a Room

Lyrics

two people in a room
facial movements to betray

a touching display
of nervous disorder

and mutual torture
zwo people in a room

bloody image is conjured
but no-one is injured

the weapons are chosen
but the action is frozen

two people in a room
positions are shifted
the ceasefire is lifted
the lighting is fier
it’s intended to pierce
any clock of deceit
my god they’re so gifted

two people in a room

their invitations
an indication
of previous decisions

of mens
decisions
