Hold on, hold on, let me get the words out before I burst
|
There's no truth at all, poking at the giant eyes of ancient gods
|
Cool heads have failed, now it's time for me to have my turn
|
Kiss me, kiss me, life is way too short to scream and shout
|
|
Flashed up in my wildest dreams, the dark red blood streams, stretching out like vast cracked ice.
|
The veins of you, the veins of me, like great forest trees
|
Pushing through and on and in
|
Gliding like a satellite in the broken night
|
And when I wake you're there I'm saved
|
Your love is life piled tight and high set against the sky
|
That seems to balance on its own
|
|
Sing out, sing out, the silence only eats us from the inside up
|
I meant no harm but I only get to say these words too late
|
Wake up, wake up, dreaming only leads to more and more nightmares
|
Snap out of it you said it in a way that showed you really cared.
|
|
Flashed up in my wildest dreams, the dark red blood streams, stretching out like vast cracked ice
|
The veins of you, the veins of me, like great forest trees
|
Pushing through and on and in
|
Gliding like a satellite in the broken night
|
And when I wake you're there I'm saved
|
Your love is life piled tight and high set against the sky
|
That seems to balance on its own
|
|
Send your lifeboats out for me
|
Send your lifeboat out
