Pass me your secrets, the last dream you own
And I'll introduce fire to the cold world you've known
Give me your seconds, and the hours alone
And I'll lay them to rest, beneath earth and stone
Walk upon these shattered shores
Glass scattered back to grains of sand
I'll take nothing less than all of you
I'll give nothing less than all I have
Clouds dressed in their funeral best
Pour tears from the gray skies you knew best
I'll be the light that crests behind them
That separates these moments from time and
Spares the night, I wear my darkness
And burn through it, hold fire in my hands
And turn to the heavens, threaten them with obsolescence
By the dreams that I keep within
This sea of magnetic skin, of darkest sins
And perfection, that keeps the dead breathing
Through their decomposition
Is me, is this, and it is all I've ever wanted
To escape haunting fate, to give purpose to this madness
To give words to these muted
Dreams, I am eternally within you
Coursing in your veins, dispersing all your pain
Adrenaline, insanity, compassion
The alchemy of a dream
The smoke and liqour and lust
That keeps you on the brink
That wears you down, tears you down
Only to lift you from the sea
Walk upon these shattered shores, and I will be the heat
That turns the sand to glass again
That undresses the world
Unrelentant, unrepentant
These fiery skies are my sentence
I own the heavens here
And burn in them, impenitent.
Pass me your secrets, the last dream you own
And I'll introduce fire to the cold world you've known
Give me your seconds, and the hours alone
And I'll lay them to rest, beneath earth and stone.
