Temporary Balms - Innocent Eve

Flint on stone why do all the poisons make her feel at home

Inhale relief that will settle her right into her bones

Blessed be the drug to bring her mind some peace

Some clarity to think through today grey beast

Knowing things are right or wrong is only halfway there

Sometimes temporary balms are all that help us bear it

Why are all the things that feel so good today

The things that hurt tomorrow

Cold cold glass and the settling of ice on the tumbler floor

Pour liquid gold and feel warmth spread through her body opening minds door

As it warms the coldest places in her core

She feels that her mind is clearer than it was before

Knowing things are right or wrong is only halfway there

Sometimes temporary balms are all that help us bear it

Why are all the things that feel so good today

The things that hurt tomorrow

Touch on screen will the words he writes tonight spell what he means

Lonely dark as he writes her a message will he say what’s in his heart

Nights away and a girl who waits at home

Betray her or betray the needs he needs to fill his soul

Knowing things are right or wrong is only halfway there

Sometimes temporary balms are all that help us bear it

Why are all the things that feel so good today

The things that hurt tomorrow
