She's drifting in and out of sleep
like she's an angel
and I'm not anything at all
Once upon a time
I looked you in the eye
and then the world came crashing down
Now everything is burning, yes
and everyone is yearning now
to see your form distorted
and your innocence destroyed
Standing in the wake of her and hoping for a break from her
surrounded by the wreckage now of
her destructive smile
Living as an avatar
and knowing that you're still so far from home
these damning certainties
that keep me here alone
so every night I lie here waiting
answers come in dreams I'm told
God's creation, my salvation's
out of your control
The vision of your purity
I let it go and I am free
The day has come at last
for it to end
If only I could cure you from that dream
you know I'm sure
that you would realize that miracles
aren't always what they seem
Now these hands are moving slowly
searching for a burning wire
Dissolute and consecrated
lying softly to the fire
Shattered hopes and broken dreams
there's always something else to lose
Rejoice in silent resolution
aomething precious, something new
Living as an avatar
and knowing that you're still so far from home
these damning certainties
that keep me here alone
so every night I lie here waiting
answers come in dreams I'm told
God's creation, my salvation's
out of your control
Time - for all the things I never had
for all the evidence I've found
collecting all the frail thoughts you've left around
Love was made for slaves like us
You love the ones you'll never trust
perfection now crumbling to dust
Light - now all the blood has mixed with sand
and all the blood washed from my hands
and how I've prayed for my deliverance today
Communion without leniance and
victory without severance
devotion I could never hope to find them
anyway
Living as an avatar
and knowing that you're still so far from home
these damning certainties
that keep me here alone
so every night I lie here waiting
answers come in dreams I'm told
God's creation, my salvation's
out of your control
So burn your wings and die in silence
Glorious and crucified
Only then will they accept you
standing by my side
