held your hand i felt you
|
jump across the great divide
|
my world's in global mourning
|
yours eternally divine
|
|
in this room it's mostly cloudy
|
showers not to be dismissed
|
raining down in human error
|
have we betrayed you with a kiss
|
|
here i'm standing staring at you
|
waiting for just one reaction
|
god i feel so damn frustrated
|
the pain is hard to bare
|
|
lying there your skin so perfect
|
looking like a beauty sleeping
|
touching you it makes no sense
|
you're feeling so cold stiff
|
|
and here we eat the lord and savior
|
taste the bitterness of loss
|
cups are filled with holy spirit
|
drunken with the word of god
|
|
veins are flowing nitrogen
|
hearts are hardened to a freeze
|
ancient iron lung tradition
|
breeds a false dichotomy
|
|
your own realit-v show
|
speaks these simple final words
|
sorry but we're out of time
|
thank you and goodnight
|
