Loud,
This silence deserves technicolor
So wilt with me and get lost along the way.
And now,
That we've learned to yearn for each-other
These hearts are heirlooms, passed down in veils of decay,
Granite grey.
Rest, when you walk on these shoulders,
It's better the devil you know.
And at the end its only words,
That seem to take the best of us
So drag the lake and prove them wrong
I remember late night lovers,
Dancing on the graves of all things pure,
Those cloak and dagger late night lovers,
Dressed in black, burning up with the sun.
Flicker fade,
Sink into the smoke of our favourite grey
You shape the moves, we'll call it shadow play.
We'll lie in wake in acetate my darling,
They'll carve our names in tongues we don't deserve.
Oh, you're lifting me higher
Oh, I'm walking through fire.

If holy worth was stronger,
Would you put your faith in me?
And no, I never learned to charm my serpent tongue,
We sin so differently
Would you deny this voice no longer?
Spare a verse to hear me say
''For heaven's sake let us love
Or there’ll be hell to pay''.
I'll watch you lace the wine and bleed for the others,
When thrown to the lions you'll walk on all fours.
Draw your best and your worst from a hunger,
That leads you down upon your knees,
If splinters could talk would you listen?, or am I pricking the fingers of a pride that just wont bleed?
I'll watch you lace the wine and feed off the others,
When thrown to the lions you'll walk on all fours,
Chase the light that frames these shadows' haunts
These lonely creatures yearn to be adored
You were holding out for,
(The sound of the lifeblood calling)
A stronger heart to bear these thorns,
(The weight of the summer rain)
Where I would spend all my life just to live, just to learn
And embrace this loveless dying art,
And flourish in the dark
We flourish in the dark.
Open arms and waiting for you, to breathe like the first time (Who's calling, he's calling I'm calling)
Open arms and craving for you 'til dawn in the dusk. (Who's calling, he's calling I'm calling)
Show me how to rain dance, maybe
I'm aching but you'll never see.
Come painted all over, and give yourself to me
To live by the sword was to die by the sword.

Still feeling courageous?
I say you're alone,
This radiant patience
Will turn us both to stone.
With words so contagious
They blacken your lungs
A darkness so blameless
Still strives to blot the sun
Strung along by broken string.
Lay me to rest in gold,
Im dying to wake again
Sleeping on sheets with ghosts
Who crave the summer rain
The weathered old soul sinks into my bones says, ''hold on its only forever''
Its the way its the way its the way they say its forever.
It's the way the way its the way,
You kept the best of me.
To warm up your cold body
Strung along by broken string,
Left to drown by laden sleeves,
Spilling thirsts. Treading water.
We're plagued by the dreamers who dared to let go,
Sharpening teeth on our broken bones.

And I'd be lying if these hands weren’t made to measure,
They held the world but they crumbled under pressure
The weakest of hearts beat alone.
And I'd be lying if I said we'd live forever
We're carved from stone just to see us through the weather
The weakest of hearts beat alone.
So dust off your feathers and learn how to fly
We feast on the sun...
Where these open eyes will dine on living daylight,
A restless forever's a selfless endeavor for you my love.
Oh, you've got me right where you want
I'll take what I've heard as chapter and verse,
Anointed one, You'll never fall far below.
So upon your return
Will you let me in?
And I'd be lying if said theres pain in pleasure
The weakest of hearts beat alone
Still, at arms length your my closest north.

I closed the shades,
Watched you swallow the sun,
Breathe in the fire
And line your lungs with smoke.
Now with eyes to the floor
I've found what i'm looking for
Believed it like a last chance,
The roads we've tread were always paved with gold.
We'll search, we'll build or burn together.
So grace these palms with lock or key
Our favoured kind of currency
To tie or bind your life to something new.
And I know its in our nature, we seem to trust,
These gypsy’s with the lightest of fingers and touch,
Who play the voice of the thousand, screaming in the desert alone where it's so cold and the earth wont move,
For lifers like me or you.
Clawing at the night
I'm just a shot in the dark from you
So surrender the light
And you'll have it all (when you move me)
Skinned to the bone
How far from alone's your blackest insatiable?
Don't talk in tongues. (When words speak volumes)
Just show me who you really are.
Quell the sinking feeling from my soul,
And believe that like a last chance,
The roads we tread will always be paved with gold.
And I know its in our nature, we seem to trust,
These gypsy’s with the lightest of fingers and touch,
Who play the voice of the thousand screaming in the desert alone where it's so cold and the earth wont move,
For lifers like me or you.
Are we alive enough to die?
I've sold my soul the invisible and fed the fire behind these eyes for far too long.
