If I never met you
My path would shine like morning sunlight
Reflecting through the dew
If I never met you

If you never met me
You path would flow like rivers driving
Towards the open sea
If you never met me

And the sun slowly dies
All the rivers run dry
Blue sky turns to black
How can we ever turn back

If I ever knew why
Your eyes cut into mine like mountains
Piercing through the sky
If I ever knew why

If you ever could know
My heart like bondless chasm pulled you
Deeper down below
If you ever could know

Now mountains fall to dust
And the chasm's filled up
All the forests drop their leaves
Surely now we can see
That my sun's surely died
And your river's run dry
Both our skies fade to black
We can never go back

Scurry now and hide behind
Images of a perfect life
Sickly sweet so pure and kind
The innocent facade

Wear your tie to choke the words
Pull down your sleeves and hide the scars
Shine your shoes upon the sherd
The image that you show

I would like to follow you
Share everything you plaster to the walls
But everything you say or do
Is just a two dimensional mirage

So easy to pretend that
Life's a never ending sunset

Push away your weaknesses
Ignore the past that you regret
There's no space for any depth
Put on a paper smile

Admiration in a click
Your world revolves around it now
Hold out your attention stick
Salute the dismal show

I would like to follow you
Share everything you plaster to the walls
But everything you say or do
Is just a two dimensional mirage

Naive to just defend that
Life's a never ending sunset

You've got the fish
I've got the hook
I've got the stare
You've got the looks
Come on
Won't you play with me?

I've got the watch
You've got the time
You've got the drinks
I've got the lines
Oh yeah
Won't you play with me?

We don't need no explanation
Cos we both know all the rules
Is this mere infatuation
Or is this love for these two fools?
I can't show my cards too early
Or I might just make you flush
We can throw our chips round freely
Go all in it's such a rush
Love crush

You've got the shake
I've got the dance
I'll wait all night
Till you give the chance
Come on
Won't you play with me?

I've got the pinch
You've got the squeeze
You've got me down
I'm on my knees
Oh yeah
Won't you play with me?

We don't need no explanation
Cos we both know all the rules
Is this mere infatuation
Or is this love for these two fools?
I can't show my cards too early
Or I might just make you flush
We can throw our chips round freely
Go all in it's such a rush
Love crush

Make me feel so sick inside
Yet blank and oh so hollow
Clutching at the frayed ends of
Illusions that I borrow

Lies I weave to hold you tight
While letting go of something
The centre I have chosen
Left falling into nothing

I will never
Be whole without you
Life would never
Make sense without you

No structure in the chaos
Need warmth from your cold shoulder
Pleasure chased but never caught
Don't want this to be over

I can't muster up the tears
Or strength to stand without you
Denial is heaven sent
To hell it drags me deeper

I will never
Be whole without you
Life would never
Make sense without you
I could never
Fill this hole without you
Life would never
Be worth a cent without you

— The End —
