lyrics

I went down in the water
It caught me up; the flame was gettin' hotter
Run into the wall: it’s all accidental
Awake in a dream - a hospital for the mental
And waiting to break the silence of passion
On the set of the stage to the means of the action

I went down to the wire
It caught me up in a sudden blaze of fire
Your cold red heart I’m begging to feel it
You keep it away and so I’m trying to steal it
Playing with switches and pulling on levers
The freefall of life in the fright and the fever

Don’t wanna stop you up
The many years free from this womb
It’s not for long and you die in a blue moon
Eggshells made for breaking
If all is for forsaking
Thought I might find you here in your empty room

I went down to the wire
I saw the love inside the muck and the mire
Break these vessels and call it virtue
A speckle of dust was never flying to hurt you
A wisp of soul must drag a cold corpse
You break your leg and now you're beating a dead horse

One step to fall from grace
I cannot rectify your wounds
Amalgamation in a dirty silver spoon
The fire of the twilight
Of dying rays of sunlight
While you are stranded on your desolated moon
