In my dreams (there you are)
Hiding away in a field of flowers
Long ago
We lost touch
Our bodies out of tune to this music
Life (life) Life (life), what does it matter anymore?

Swelling darkness enveloping my ears
Shadows whispering to me all these voices
This lonely sound of you so near
This lonely sound you held so dear

The day is thick with black, don't know if I'll get out
A reflection full of pictures has me by the neck
Painting my eyes closed with regret
Painting him away...

There are no more raindrops in my head
Shivers criss-crossing their way through my skin
Your memory bouncing against my heart
These words, this song, it's all there and gone
Blooming happiness just so it can wither
All before dawn

Thoughts boiling to the surface
Stinging my eyes with your lips coming down on me
Our shadows detonating on the walls
Sing to me my darling
Your voice alone is my guide through
Let me see you

Laughing all the crimes you've committed away
You were always like that
Let every single star in the sky come down
Pick us up, take us away
These words, this song, all there and gone
These words are my heart
This song is my soul
And, with you
They're all there
And
They're gone.
