DOWN
back room down
pictured with perfect angles
black top down
endless in every angle
just one moment, bleak divide
up for air and no demise
just a second, out of time
everything is going down, down, down, down, down again
down again, home again
down again, here again, home again
clean, sharp smile
sinking in restless hours
deep, cold smile
drowning in endless hours
for a moment, unrevived
fight for air, no, not this time
deep inside, deep inside
everything has gone down, down, down, down, down again
every time I fall around
every time I think of things
pull me up before I drown
pick me up and lead me down again |
EXCADE DECADE DECADA
I remember eighty one
and everything I should have done
not many second thoughts
can be remembered as a second chance
I remember eighty one
when things looked bleak but lots of fun
and then I melted in the burning sun
and then I drifted through eighty one
through eighty one, eighty one...
I remember eighty three
so full of life and lust and greed
and hope that eighty three...
would be remembered as eighty three
I remember eighty three
with eyes so blue she stared at me
and then she whispered "come close to me"
and then she smiled, and then I ran away
take this away...
slow fade to eighty eight
so full of spite and lack of faith
so tired of dead end fates, so tired of eighty eight
slow fade to eighty eight
reborn again, but much to late
the girl I loved, she loved to hate
she can't remember eighty eight
she can't remember...
take this away... |
BYZANTINE
wake up to this passive time
seven years since that sacred time
how I wish I could just return to Byzantine
maybe I could have had it all
been engulfed by her citadels
how her eyes seemed to beg for me...
...to conquer her again
I don't really want to know about how I lost
all I want to do is resurrect
my Byzantine, my Byzantine, she said...
my Byzantine, she said...
she said
"sink your teeth deep in Byzantine"
see my grip slip on Byzantine
feel my thoughts drift towards Byzantine
my...
breathe deep and just pray today
that we'll see another day
new hope that the southern sky brings Byzantine
straight into her brilliant blue
smothered by her perfect view
but today is a different day
she said good-bye again
I love my Byzantine, my Byzantine
I pray for Byzantine, my Byzantine |

ACROSS A THOUSAND BLADES
(written by Black Tape For A Blue Girl)
angel, why am I so blind?
the room: sweat pouring, eastern incense
warm red embers within amber flesh
slithering naked across a thousand blades
...across a thousand blades
I hold you gently, your eyes so far away
searching for your justice
searching for your innocence
lost as a child adrift on a lonely sea
...on a lonely sea
burn my memory, burn my outline
the tears scream to scar your unpierced flesh
shattered mirrors reflecting back your face
"let your defenses fall"
your candles never burned me
the ashes fall to the ground
...as you try to pierce my poisoned flesh
as I try to pierce your tortured heart |
THIS LUSH GARDEN WITHIN
(written by Black Tape For A Blue Girl)
I see this lush garden within
your womb like the center of the earth
the origin of all
the vaulted ceilings of heaven and earth
totality of me
from which my life originates
I see our love reside (for awhile)
a universe of me rushing to become one with...
...a universe of you
you possess me as I never can possess you
you are the future, the origin of all...of all
unrealized
never to be realized
never to take form and emerge unique
(lyrics for Everything Is Cold, Nine Hours Later, Sleepless and The Facade Fades
can be found elsewhere in the lyric section)
