Masquerade
03:35
|
|||
Broken mirrors forming a crown
Sad parody of your life now
Eyes open wide
Pale lips revealing
A gleaming shred of honesty
Beneath this comical facade
Of confidence and grace
Bare bones, illusion gone
Of thinking you've moved on
To some forgotten place
Traded for his face
But time cannot erase
Another's place
You can't withhold
Words still untold
Or keep pulling back
A tongue bitten black
Has he replaced
Visions of your face
Cuz his still haunts
This empty space
That day you stepped aside with pride
While inside you died
Thinking it was smart
To slice your own heart
Walked out from the wreck
A stain on your chest
Drifting around now
Alive but beating less

Like Junkies
03:15
|

Come here
Beneath your clothes
Show me your soul
While night burns through
This broken room
Time never moves
Like our bodies do
We want it bad
Like junkies
Trapped in bliss
It's mirrored in your eyes
You've let down your guard
Now drop your disguise
Cuz you know I'm real
Deep down in your soul
You know I'm the one
Who can make you whole
Can't stop
Our breath turns raw
Here on the floor
Anything you want
Behind locked doors
Down on our knees
We're victims of our instincts now
Like junkies
So have no fear
Of what you've come to adore
Fate has lead us here
Where we're begging for more
Our mouths open wide
Like we're drowning in
An ocean tide of blessed sin

Past reality
Outside of time
We find what's real
Before life was only vast stillness
We awaken behind closed eyes
Infinity expanding
Float among the stars
Tiny glowing sparks in the universe
Is all we are
Knowing that love is what matters
Brings light from dark
Through dreaming we see
We're supposed to be
Undivided souls
Prisms of light
Streaming energy
Through silence comes the perfect song
Embedded with dreams and worlds unseen
Deep and cool like the sea
Arms open wide
Hold my breath
Fall inside
The end becomes its beginning
No duality
We are only one

Until Daylight
03:29
|
|||
The day you fell beyond the earth
Through my arms
Like a shooting star
You left this world
On a moonlit night
I close my eyes
Miss you so
Can I go find you in space and time
While sleep creeps up on me
You arrive in dreams
It seems you're so alive
We spent the night
Studying each other's smile lines
The echo of my pain
Only a distant cry
Looked at the sky
While burning comets drifted by
Like satellites that disappear with daylight
Although when I wake, you're gone
I can still see you in the night sky above
Your eyes drawn by stars
Smile like the sun
My constellation
Stripped from this world
You were sent out there into the blue
From that day on
I'll stay right here and wait for you
I promised I'd love you
'Til the planets all stand still
And break the bonds of time
To be with you, I will

All Real Things
03:36
|
|||
Raindrops pound the windowpane
Would you have a switch to turn the day
A different shade of faded gray
Turned inside out a love like ours
Guess all real things fall apart
Why did you bail out
So discouraged into the night
Acting like things
Never seem to turn out right
You walked away
Without any backward glance
No change of heart
No taken chance
Could this be the end
I feel empty as a fired gun
That shot down a bleeding sun
Now I'm the mess that's left
When the cleaning's done
Well you act like
You get off on self pity
Relationships can't be built on sympathy
Manipulation isn't free
You're just acting
You don't fool me
You've got plenty of other ladies
Can't you see that I'm in pain
Put on this face for you
What's with the effort
When it never seems really true
Won't you believe me
That you are where I want to be
It's not me
It's attention
That you forever seek

The Shape You Take
03:05
|
|||
Here we are
Tonight is all that matters
No future, no past
This moment hangs forever
As if in a trance
While the beat pounds all around us
Our bodies move in time
I dig the shape you take
In the half light
I could lead you into the dark
To be alone with our beating hearts
We need to push through the crowd
Find a place with no one around
Flashing lights
I watch shifting colors
Play across your face
Our bodies twist
Aligning in a tight embrace
You press yourself against me
Our chemicals combine
I catch a glimpse
Of heaven in your eyes
