lyrics

I once knew a time when all time would just stop,
With two hands steady spinning,
Never willing to admit I was lost,
And flung wide with a trace at my side,
In a screening, eyes bleeding,
As one of the many few died,
And his ghost fell perplexed into mine,
And all life was lived living a lie,
And I lied waiting for you.

This turn of events was wed in future tense,
The verb carried me inwards until I got lost in yourself,
And we stood in the ruins of now,
Drifted over the wires,
Atop spires where truth breathes somehow,
And our ghost fell pronounced back inside,
Seat belts on, steamed up windows to write,
Traces of places we'll go,
As the man they knew died,
One of the many few lied through his teeth all his life,
Dreamt of colours to taste with some fictional wife,
He neither knew nor believed to be true,
Enter you.

And the attic gets louder at night,
The ceiling concealing ambiguous fright,
Turn the light on it stops,
The moon manically orbits the place where it was,
But I beg her to come back inside,
The sheets a cocoon in her brilliant light,
And we hide,
Hands grasping we hide,
Our lips' meeting decides,
We had never need go back outside.
