The half expectant gaze of ignorance A furtive silhouette of a man, diffident composure - recumbant feigning order and respect as in an occasional outward glance I must look away for your beauty burns too brightly and i must look away Tragic contortions of a knowing mind How my world seems to beckon me care and how desperate i am to oblige shrouded though I am in cigarette smoke and dissonance The Outsider can perceive a perfect harmony My capacity for Love terrifies me. Decidedly I feign in a recumbant comparisons of her shining beauty, a thousand suns or more i am blind so I imagine a perfect world and I draw mindstuff in the sky These moments rebuffed Resounding for their failure to Resound Oh this sordid worldly affair where there's so much beauty in dirt and the magnificence of the Earth

For the sake of the Past
The half expectant gaze of ignorance A furtive silhouette of a man, diffident composure - recumbant feigning order and respect as in an occasional outward glance I must look away for your beauty burns too brightly and i must look away Tragic contortions of a knowing mind How my world seems to beckon me care and how desperate i am to oblige shrouded though I am in cigarette smoke and dissonance The Outsider can perceive a perfect harmony My capacity for Love terrifies me. Decidedly I feign in a recumbant comparisons of her shining beauty, a thousand suns or more i am blind so I imagine a perfect world and I draw mindstuff in the sky These moments rebuffed Resounding for their failure to Resound Oh this sordid worldly affair where there's so much beauty in dirt and the magnificence of the Earth
