Lyrics
hey, brighteyes, I’ve come to bring you hope
that we will someday rise above and
that we will someday fall in love.
and this house that you’ve built to
save yourself has come crashing down and down…
and this awkward tongue that has been so well-versed
is feeding me lines that have been so well-rehearsed
ask me if I believe
ask me if I believe…
Chorus:
we’ve slit the throat of integrity
and cast its body out to the sea
so, bury yourself deep within this
symphony of a faithful mistress
and this passion that you’ve longed to know
has left this garden long overgrown
so, take my hand and leave
what you’ve come to expect.
bite your lips and grasp these sheets
find out just what you mean to me
this epic outlasts both our breath
arch your back, this faith will not last
this has come much too far to bear
but you’re already there
Chorus
I pray the angels do not sleep as you walk home and street lamps fade to porch lights.
I need to see you safe at home tucked beneath the sheets, so swallow yourself in darkness
and revel in the morning.
