take my lips,
sew up my eyes,
you took my heart,
so why not take all of me?
i saw you in the dark,
you were sleeping.
i feel your tongue in my mouth.
i feel your arms in mine, remembering,
i swallow.
i love you more than my mind.
i can't remember my name,
you live through me.
i can't remember your name,
you live through me.
you see through me,
you're singing.
i can't remember the word,
but i love you.
tired eyes are burning,
remember the soul inside me.
the patterns that you create,
they go swirling.
love is blind.
this place i call home,
our home.
our dream, i feel you.
ophelia
her dress was pale green,
dream, dreamer,
the nightmare is now.
dream inside the pale moonlight,
the wind blew in time.
there she closed her eye's against
all the thing's she's seen
in the past.
dream, dream,
of the white night's from the past.
dream, dreamer.
ophelia.
your heart is raised of the cosmos.
your blood it spills upon the stars.
i weep for you, drunken, with the liquid
of your emptiness.
like you, i am gone.
like you, i am gone. like you, i am gone.
we wash it out with absinthe,
we flush it out with rushes.
ophelia.
your heart is raised of the cosmos.
your blood it spills upon the stars.
i weep for you, drunken, with the liquid
of your emptiness.
like you, i am gone.
like you, i am gone. like you, i am gone.
we wash it out with absinthe,
we flush it out with rushes.
we're on the ground,
we're on our knees,
still the band plays on.
still the band plays on.
much too old, and much too drunk,
to hold a conversation.
waving through the crack,
that was my heart,
ophelia.
the ocean cried when she left her shores.
the stars threw themselves upon the
earth when she left the night.
blood lust on the milky way.
no heart, no heart, beats tonight.
