Lotus – Candy Promises lyrics

i look into your eyes and i see the empty sky
the sky that holds nothing for us but promises and lies
the rain is falling faster now and washing me away
i've got to tell you soon now it must be today

we stand on this crowded street
all alone in utter defeat
we promise to each other but we suck it all up
our bittersweet words are all but stuck

you and all your candy promises
all your ice cream wishes for me
how i wish i could twist you and bend you to see
to make you know the truth of me

and i can see you clearly as the fog drifts away
my eyes are burning, heart is yearning
take your pain away
and you can hide behind that mask all that you want
that mask of sweat and tears that you galantly flaunt

but sooner or later you just can't hold on
and i can see you drowning with
the coming of the dawn

you and all your candy promises
all your ice cream wishes for me
how i wish i could twist you and bend you to see
to make you know the truth of me

but wait you said one more time let me speak
i've got so much to say and i can't hold on
so i sit on my hands and i open my ears
while you carry on and hand me your fears

you and all your candy promises
all your ice cream wishes for me
how i wish i could twist you and bend you to see
to make you know the truth of me

but me and all my bitter sardonicness
we can melt all of your sugar lies away
how i wish i could twist you and bend you to see
to make you know the truth of me
