Fifteen years I raged against the constant C, the speed of light
|
the diagrams and haunted sleep, frozen sheets, in bed, my dreams
|
your garden grave, I'd climb inside, hold your bones and slowly die
|
the cooling space inside your chest, my broken bride, you never breathed again
|
Circuits fail, the cosmic strings like rubber bands, I lose control
|
they snap, I fall through mist to mud against my face, the taste of blood
|
the world is strange, the stinking earth and giant tress
|
through heavy air a demon shrieks, what have I done? what hell is waiting or me?
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
I crashed before the birth of Christ
|
Pterodactyls swarming
|
You died in 1989
|
Want to get back to that morning in May
|
Keep you in bed, never escape
|
Holding you close, oh oh oh oh
|
Listen to you breathe the evening glow
|
of fading light and cooling space
|
|
Like motor oil down my throat, I couldn't speak, I dropped the phone
|
the burning flares, the steam, your hair, bits of glass, they sparkled everywhere
|
like winter nights, the stars, the ice, all intertwined to hold and keep
|
like petals pressed in sheets making love to moonlight in our sleep
|
And now above the pits of tar, in a cave I hide, that massive, screaming thing with wings of reaper's cloth, it's standing just outside
|
I must get to my machine, I will bring you back to life
|
fix your ruined lungs, I'll undo what time has done
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
I carve your sweet name into the cave, I'm sure to die
|
All my strife has been in vain, the glaciers come and wash my words away
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
