Well I bite and I stumble
over the dried leaves of the past
Well I might be so humble
as to wait awhile to let the moment last
If I may consecrate
the sacrilegious voices I hear
I’ll delay but never wait
for my life and blood to disappear
But I want to be hypnotized
By the silhouette of your eyes
I want to be misled
Come get these thoughts out of my head
Well I’m tired, never sleeping
holding onto what I want to burn
But I’m inspired, and I’m keeping
all the secrets that I have yet to learn
And I want to find a different place in time
Where I can tell the truth and live a lie
I want to be misunderstood
Justify myself by saying that I could
be oh so creative and sincere
Drive the nails into my hands of fear
If I could touch you then all would be fine
And these images would leave my mind
I will lie by your side
it’s a comfort to know you’re not alone
But if I die on the outside
will you find me a place to rest my bones
I want to be mesmerized
by the silhouette of your eyes
By the words I cannot say aloud
Everything is coming closer to me now
I want to be half-disguised
By the night vision within your swollen eyes
I want to live somehow
Tell me can you touch me now?
