Shadows all around you as you surface from the dark Emerging from the gentle grip of night's unfolding arms Darkness, darkness everywhere, do you feel
You came to me In seemless sleep and slipped right in Behind my eyes on the back of my mind We swam a sea of pretty sights and chandelier skies I swore
I'm a half-hearted fool With a heart that's broke in two A quarter and a kiss is all it should be worth to you I must be the last of my kind 'cause you
Take what you need while there's time The city will be earth in a short while If I'm not mistaken it's been in flames You and I will escape to the seaside
The boys who kiss and bite They are the brilliant ones who speak and write With silver luck They sing in clever tongues Oh, while my knees go weak to
Who shot that arrow in your throat? Who missed the crimson apple? It hung heavy on the tree above your head This chaos, this calamity, this garden once
Please will you wake up, Open your eyes, It's the first day of a new life, you'll see, Cotton at the windows, Pollen as the wind blows, It's the first
I know that you're an artist, but you're the hardest one to deal with. Everything that you conceal is revealed on your canvas. You find all of your ugly
The boys are Kissing bright They are the pretty ones who sleep in white The silver while They're singing clever taunts Oh well my knees are ready to bathe
There are children whirling laughing They don't know they should be scared Give me that hope Give me time to love High above the glowing city, Planes
Spin your body around Now your feet are gonna hit the ground I am going sleepless in your out of lullaby Honey, honey, honey you're the death of me Won
I'm a half-hearted fool With a heart that's broke in two A quarter and a kiss is all It should be worth to you I must be the last of my kind 'Cause you
You were the child Who was made out of glass Who carried a black heart Passed down from your dad If somebody loved you, They'd tell you by now We all
(Instrumental)
Shackles and chains get in the way and I'm locked in the garderner's gate Where everything grows but no one should go where I've gone. I won't come back
Send out the morning birds To sing of the damage Now that the calm's returned I know I can't manage You're standing in my doorway Though he's asleep
They are days lost holding you down you look for me, but I wont be found the blue birds flutter in my chest oh, they want to sing you'll have to break
In a field outside of town we could always be alone Carry a blanket maybe a basket - and that's it Innocence was the key I was locked up never free Until
