Fifteen years I raged against the constant C, the speed of light
The diagrams and haunted sleep, fozen sheets, in bed, my dreams
Your garden grace, 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 sinking 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 breath 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, biths of glass, they sparkled everywhere
Like winter nights, the starts, 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 maching, 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]
