lyrics

Nobody gets the message. The clicking stops, her eyes roll back and forth.
The ancient art of interest twice avoided, once an open door.
See, I'm not like this. The place I saw unusually cold.
It wasn't like this: A vacant space in which my thoughts should go.

If god is what we saw and this is what we want, this is how it starts.
Love is almost wrong.
Come set the strange apart.

Nobody cares to listen. The danger's over, your best days surely follow.
There is no end to nothing. Shame addiction, create our faulty child.
Now, I'm not like that. I've seen too much to just get old.
Each day a sunset.
Each movement priceless.
Each phase a nightmare
A million pieces worthy as a whole.

..And in this endless vision the doves rise just for you.
Nobody moves. The white reflected in their eyes so blue.
Such beautiful persuasion.
..And then the moment after silences ensue.
Nobody moves, but then again I guess they do.
It's nothing new to find the nightmare wasn't you.
