lyrics

Woke up this morning everything that I must do weighed me down
Before I thought of you
The search for happiness led us up the garden path, blind to mystery and death

Your tongue betrays you as it slips from your mind, selfish fears entwined with heroes and half truths
Born to kill for peace on earth, opinion breeds contradiction

Through the day I burn the night, I like to twist it into something I can fight
The birds in the trees are smarter than me, and we forgot to paint the roses
You brought your spear and your showman's ear, not all love is kindness
So let me tip toe around you, your highness

As I read the ghostly hand, the shadow of a whisper
Everything that we don't understand, never happened at all

Oh your melancholy eyes are too glamorous,
But your melancholy eyes don't do amorous

Well you know I haven't had a revelation in a while, but I'm open to suggestion
I lay my head down I accept the sacrifice, another day of consolation
A voiceless siren cries a song through my eyes, it's called the truth is broken
the walls are falling around me, and the waves rush in.
