tangled in your tresses in your bed
I never saw the bridge was crumbling up ahead
drowning in the pools of your eyes
I never saw the sun already on the rise
the call of the horizon
oh here there be dragons
I belong in the hinterlands
on the ragged edge
on the boundary far from you
You would still a beating heart
but the bitter truth is
there's one thing love can't do
You play for keeps I play to win
Your touch the coldest fire on my skin
This house is burning while you're spinning in your dress
I am deafened by the call of the wilderness

the moment they open the cage baby we're gonna run
let them try to cut us down
the light at the end of the tunnel as bright as the sun
I'll meet you on the edge of town
we never wanted any of this fight we were content to muddle through it
a quiet life
water plants and cut the flowers cocktails in the golden hour
here's to, here's to the end of the world
no fear
we'll see it through
you are no Juliet (or this can be changed to "I am no Juliet")
I'm here
I promise you
this isn't over yet
tune out the grind of the gears and you'll still hear my voice
you only need to follow me
one foot in front of the other each moment a choice
we will stand against the sea
leap across the light years time will catch up and they'll die here all alone in
the winter rain
leave it to the understudy leave them broken bruised or bloody
here's to, here’s to the end of the world
no fear
we'll see it through
you are no Juliet (or this can be changed to "I am no Juliet")
I'm here
I promise you
this isn't over yet
we'll finally be free
by sheer force of will
well that tank is empty now
may it never refill
the moment they open the cage
we're gonna run oh yeah
the light at the end of this tunnel
baby it's as bright as the sun

I thought I was a master of disguise
a bright veneer atop the mess inside
looking back I'm not surprised
you saw through it, you don't want me to hide
the fact that you want me whole and not in pieces
takes some getting used to
when you’ve loved the way I’ve loved
throwing all of me in front of faster cars for reasons
I can’t explain but somehow you know
I would destroy everything I built at your command
if you asked me to
I'd give up, give in, let 'em win but now I understand
that's something you would never do
if it were just one word I wouldn't listen
there was a time when I stood so tall
feels like I was built to let it all in
all the little messengers of doubt that say I should crawl
back to those who wanted the ideal
I didn’t know that’s not how love should feel
throwing all of me in front of faster cars for reasons
I can’t explain but somehow you know
I would tear it down
I would let it burn
But you would never ask me baby and I've gotta learn
To have a voice outside
To match the voice inside me
To never wonder if - baby I could sure get used to this

Head high I walked straight out of hell
flick of my wrist I extinguished the flames
the wages of sin, the power of love
nothing can compare when you whisper my name
I saw it through I bear the scars
I need you to follow the north star
I’m through following rules
I’m through suffering fools
I’m through
you never feared me the power inside me
I was the fire you were the earth and we were whole
I am prepared - forsake all the rest
we will be the last two standing
if it means we keep control
I'm in bloom at the touch of your hand
our moment soon you understand that
I’m through following rules
I’m through suffering fools
I’m through
it's not like this with anybody else
one touch, one kiss and I am the aurora

I can go backward
back to the pink the neon and chrome
As far as you need to
If it helps you feel like you’re not alone
I dare you to hold your breath sink to the bottom
don’t let this daydream end
cuz out there in the real I don’t know if I can deal
baby I don’t know who I am
I don’t know how to be here
I don’t know how to be now
It’s never the same river twice
I’ll try to remember me
That I was in love with you
try to rebuild paradise
If I can step in the same river twice
We could go forward
find some utopia and live in the stars
Nobody wants for what we all need for
it’s rightfully ours
I dare you to cast your spell, weave your enchantment
around us and don’t let it end
cuz I don’t know where I start and where the terror begins
baby I don’t know who I am
We stormed the wall and tore it down
Heard a voice and turned around
Found each other in the
We built a house of glass and steel
I’ll read the signs you take the wheel
one kiss and we can make it real
I don't' know how to be me, or how to be here
I don't know how, I don't know how...
Baby I don't know who I am

now the strangest thing
the whole world rings
endlessly
resonating
I never heard it
nothing stirred it
til you found me
complicating
what should be a simple plan
when you burst into song I understand
When you sing I swear hear the spheres
The turning of the gears
The passing of the years
I'll spend with you
you laugh and I'm ablaze
the sunlight comes in rays
illuminates the days
I'll spend with you
up until the sun
the web we spun
a melody
captivating
hearts no false starts
a work of art
you found me
separating
what should be one in the spin
take my hand we'll jump in
oh oh oh oh
maybe I lean in too much
oh oh oh oh
maybe I'm drunk from your touch
but I could swear I hear
something I know wasn't there before you

so the story goes
When the days are so short you sleep through the light
and everybody knows
but nobody says how we're fighting the fight
Now every night I'm slain
by your hand on my back as I slip into the dark
when the long night falls again
I'm blinded by the smallest spark
One sip of diginity and you'd better drive
One act of kindness and I'm buried alive
'cause trapped inside of my head with the panic and dread
is this live wire
and so we hold it in
all the whirl and buzz and damage it does
but when the walls are thin
we can hear that we're all one step from the fall
though my insulation's not as thick as it was or maybe should be
I believe without hesitation I'm cast in steel when you reach for me
the smallest thing, a moment's peace, and I let somebody in
suddenly I'm sparks and fire
I wake and lay eyes on you and the world falls away
and I am left with this live wire

I heard you speaking in past tense
You were starting to make sense
What have we done
I saw that spark in your eye again
Should we even try again
What have we become
We had it all but we stumbled in a moment of weakness
We thought the deepening peace and the quiet was darkness
We meant to let in just a little light
But when the curtain opened we were blinded
we wore the colors acted like the others and turned out
We put ourselves in the firing line 'til we burned out
went one by two into a coal mine
Believed the lie that we'd find gold
I remember when I promised you
That I would have and I would hold
what have we done?
I still love you
I heard you speaking in past tense
and this is not making any sense
What have we done
I saw that spark in your eye again
and I know we gotta try again
what will we become?

I keep you in the corner of my eye
Behind the tear that never dries
That way I pretend you have a heart and a soul
Where did you go?
This year was a spotlight
The closing time fluorescent lights
And you sure look like hell
Now I gotta cut you out
You eliminated any doubt
There's anything beneath that shell
I know what you are now
now that sun has set
I can't forgive
I can't forget what you are now
yeah now that sun has set
I can't forgive, I can't forget
I suppose I always had suspicions
Subtracting you would be addition
All the excuses cancel out all out at once
And there you are
This year was a wake up call
In the morning light we saw it all
We would make it to the end
But we'd get there in spite of you
Confirming what we always knew
You're more foe than friend
Sometimes we give sometimes we take
The branch we're on it will bend not break
For we stand here lighter than ever now for love
This year was a wake up call
In the morning light we saw it all
We would make it to the end
without you

she left you in a glass cage, left you in a long wake
and she left you to drown
if only if you could see it you could break it
but she painted this town
I watch from the shore
I can't get closer to you
cuz you will pull me down
I wish I could be your tangent
Break you from this circle
break you from these chains
I wish I could be your constant
Make it all add up but still
the ghost of her remains
you won't go down fighting you think it's flying
she turned your world on its head
for years I kept the faith you'd find me ever trying
fruitlessly pulling that thread
all the alibis unwound
I'd show you what I found
but you would drag me down
I would wish you free
but it's not up to me
I can only watch as you go 'round and 'round

I watch you walk the beaches
I see your plaintive looks
over the breaking waves
over my wat’ry grave
When the longest night comes
When you’re at your darkest
I will call you home
You don’t have to be alone
We learned to read the current
As daughters of the sea
we feared the undertow
but I would lose control
You always loved my wild heart
I was the one who stood out from the other girls
You brought me shells and pearls
I felt the pull of the veil
It took my fear away
I want that for you
We’ll sail into the night
Beneath the pale moonlight
I’ll be with you when tide begins to turn again
In your eyes there was a spark
When I left you it went dark
Down here together you won’t ever need to burn again
There were always rumors
wicked glances cast across the village square
where we would kneel in prayer
I couldn't keep the secrets
I couldn't hide the lust in my heart anymore
in a trance I found the shore
The shock of the cold stole my breath
In a moment there was nothing and
I want that for you
I was the underfoot girl
Fearless in the riggings
I would leap from ship to ship
You were the boy on the bow
Watching for horizons
With a song on your lips
Then we got older
Desire took over
I'd crash into you like the waves
On the beach outside our cave
Where the promises we made were made forever
Promise broke in two
Summer turned to winter like I walked through a door
I will make it up to you
I'll pull you down and none of it will matter anymore

This is cool as hell. I feel like I'm adrift in a space between dimensions, dancing amongst hallucinatory fragments of several realities. In one moment I'm dancing in a courtyard of some ancient technicolor empire. The next it's a little island in the sky of a dreamlike cube-world. So cool!
