She's drifting in and out of sleep Like she's an angel And I'm not anything at all Once upon a time I looked you in the eye And then the world came crashing down Now everything is burning, yes And everyone is yearning now To see your form distorted And your innocence destroyed Standing in the wake of her and hoping for a break from her Surrounded by the wreckage now of Her destructive smile Living as an avatar And knowing that you're still so far from home These damning certainties That keep me here alone So every night I lie here waiting Answers come in dreams I'm told God's creation, my salvation's Out of your control The vision of your purity I let it go and I am free The day has come at last For it to end If only I could cure you from that dream You know I'm sure That you would realize that miracles Aren't always what they seem Now these hands are moving slowly Searching for a burning wire Dissolute and consecrated Lying softly to the fire Shattered hopes and broken dreams There's always something else to lose Rejoice in silent resolution Something precious, something new Time - for all the things I never had For all the evidence I've found Collecting all the frail thoughts you've left around Love was made for slaves like us You love the ones you'll never trust Perfection now crumbling to dust Light - now all the blood has mixed with sand And all the blood washed from my hands And how I've prayed for my deliverance today Communion without leniance and Victory without severance Devotion I could never hope to find them Anyway So burn your wings and die in silence Glorious and crucified Only then will they accept you Standing by my side
