Twenty-six years and seems like I've just begun
To understand my, my intimate is no one
When the director sold the show, who bought its last rites?
They cut the cast, the music, and the lights
This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone
Twenty-six years and still speaking in these tongues
Such revelations while understood by no one
When the new actor stole the show
Who questioned his grace?
Please clear the house of ill-aquired taste
This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone
Give me something, give me something
Give me something, give me something
Give me something, give me something real
I lay strewn across the floor, can't solve this puzzle
Everyday another small piece can't be found
I lay strewn across the floor, pieced up in sorrow
The pieces are lost, these pieces don't fit
Pieced together incomplete and empty
This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone
This is my line, this is eternal
How did I end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
These are the prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone
We held hands on the last night on earth
Our mouths filled with dust, we kissed in the fields and under trees
screaming like dogs, bleeding dark into the leaves
It was empty on the edge of town but we knew everyone floated along the bottom of the river
So we walked through the waste where the road curved into the sea
and the shattered seasons lay
and the bitter smell of burning was on you like a disease
In our cancer of passion you said, "Death is a midnight runner"
The sky had come crashing down like the news of an intimate suicide
We picked up the shards and formed them into shapes of stars that wore like an antique wedding dress
The echoes of the past broke the hearts of the unborn
as the ferris wheel silently slowed to a stop
The few insects skittered away in hopes of a better pastime
I kissed you at the apex of the maelstrom and asked
if you would accompany me in a quick fall
but you made me realize that my ticket wasn't for two
I rode alone
You said, "The cinders are falling like snow"
There is poetry in despair, and we sang with unrivaled beauty
bitter elegies of savagery and eloquence
Of blue and grey
Strange, we ran down desperate streets and carved our names in the flesh of the city
The sun was stagnated somewhere beyond the rim of the horizon
and the darkness is a mystery of curves and lines
Still, we lay under the emptiness and drifted slowly outward
and somewhere in the wilderness we found salvation scratched
into the earth like a message
I cannot leave here, I cannot stay
Forever haunted, more than afraid
Asphyxiate on words I would say
I'm drawn to a blackened sky as I turn blue
There are no flowers, no, not this time
There will be no angels gracing the lines
just these stark words I find
I'd show a smile, but I'm too weak
I'd share with you, could I only speak
just how much this hurts me
I cannot stay here. I cannot leave
Just like all I loved, I'm make-believe
Imagined heart, I disappear
Seems no one will appear here and make me real
There are no flowers, no, not this time
There will be no angels gracing the lines
just these stark words I find
I'd show a smile, but I'm too weak
I'd share with you, could I only speak
just how much this hurts me
I'd tell you how it haunts me
I'd tell you how it haunts me
(Cuts through my day and sinks in to my dreams)
I'd tell you how it haunts me
(Cuts through my day and sinks in to my dreams)
You don't care that it haunts me
There are no flowers, no, not this time
There will be no angels gracing the lines
just these stark words I find
I'd show a smile, but I'm too weak
I'd share with you, could I only speak
just how much this hurts me
just how much this hurts me
just how much you
To understand my, my intimate is no one
