Don't open your eyes to the blinding tip of that sunrise; Your pupils are still far too dilated and still so drunken by the darkness that is the night Don't take a whiff of that morning breeze; Your sinuses will surely get clogged by the lies pollinating amidst the morning fog The pretences of your so-called destiny serve only as an agent of blindness through which the ancient scribes of your true being have been twisted and forged into a sad stew of highs unreachable, lows and unthinkable and pains unspeakable. All you can do is raise your glass and rush to wash it all down with a taste of the hollow hate that remains in its place. It is a beautiful day nonetheless; so take a seat at the table where the wildness of dreams and endlessness of possibilities have all come through to eat. But this is what I have to say to you: Don't fall in love, child of the night; Love won't set you free! Lover of stars that illuminate even the deepest most eternal pits of your own being, Don't fall in love; Love won't set you free! You already are all you need and all you'll ever need to be, so this is a warning I'm begging you to heed: Don't fall in love; Love won't set you free!

Love?
Don't open your eyes to the blinding tip of that sunrise; Your pupils are still far too dilated and still so drunken by the darkness that is the night Don't take a whiff of that morning breeze; Your sinuses will surely get clogged by the lies pollinating amidst the morning fog The pretences of your so-called destiny serve only as an agent of blindness through which the ancient scribes of your true being have been twisted and forged into a sad stew of highs unreachable, lows and unthinkable and pains unspeakable. All you can do is raise your glass and rush to wash it all down with a taste of the hollow hate that remains in its place. It is a beautiful day nonetheless; so take a seat at the table where the wildness of dreams and endlessness of possibilities have all come through to eat. But this is what I have to say to you: Don't fall in love, child of the night; Love won't set you free! Lover of stars that illuminate even the deepest most eternal pits of your own being, Don't fall in love; Love won't set you free! You already are all you need and all you'll ever need to be, so this is a warning I'm begging you to heed: Don't fall in love; Love won't set you free!
'Love' is a placeholder for the many things we use to make us feel the warmth of love when love eludes us.
