you're the hope of all the lost and lonely souls
the novelty will never get old
but you're not here to be a refuge
you're not a saviour from the deluge
suffer
suffer together
suffer
suffer with another lover
they are all transparent to you
transparent as the world is opaque
and of all the things you've seen
you know longing is never fake
suffer
suffer together
suffer
suffer with another lover
you're the unicorn for lost and lonely souls
a paradise for those afraid to grow old
but by the time you've harmonised the world
all you have left to give is a void

I'm falling
falling into the sky
far far away
where the ladybeetles fly
I'm drowning
drowning in your eyes
down, down, down, down
someone save me please she cries
cause
I'm swept away by your terrible beauty
I'm disappearing
disappearing into the night
to creep round the cemetery
without a light
I'm falling
falling into the grass
I see your face
white as snow on the icy ground
cause
I'm swept away by your terrible beauty
there's no turning back

oh you look like something come down from heaven
but only I know that you came from earth
and the knowing is the gift I was given
oh the knowing is more than I'm worth
in the light of your radiance
I begin to dissolve
let me be an everlasting river
let me be a tidal wave
let me be a whole wide ocean to hold you
the first to ever sweep you away
I am a flood of tears
I am a flood of blood
I am a flood of love
the blood of life
will I drown you?
I am afraid to know
this flood of woe
will grow until it drowns me
oh I'm seeking joy in all the places that will hurt me
cause I know if I don't
the joy will never find me
and I'm seeking hope in all the ways that will destroy me
but I know if I don't
this woe will be the end of me
and I'm having dreams of all the things that want to kill me
but I would rather this than have to face reality

on a dark night of the soul
I chose
to never tame my heart
you called me to scream and shout
so
I will not hide my tears
I will not hide my tears
I will not be silent
at the world's end
you will hear my voice
around and around and around we go
closer to death we all do grow
around and around and around we go
closer to death, the roiling clouds below
I arm myself with my vulnerabilities
and step into the light
and step into the light
knowing I don't stand a chance
but I still put up a fight
I still put up a fight
I only wait to be defeated
but you cannot stop me
at the world's end
you will hear my voice
around and around and around we go
closer to death we all do grow
around and around and around we go
closer to death, the roiling clouds below

I find solace
beneath the blanket of the night
I walk alone
through rain and moonlight
I seek the shadows
to save me from the darkness
I seek the shadows
to save me from myself
for if I cease to see
maybe I will cease to be as well
and if I join the sea
I will become a tidal swell
then and only then
then and only then
then and only then
the moon the will know me
then and only then
then and only then
then and only then
I will know myself
insomnia
like a dream
turning into rain
oblivion
I search for in vain
for under this dark moon
maybe I will find a place I belong
and if I orbit earth enough
maybe I won't be here for long

at the bottom of a well
I find a firefly
it leads me to a place
a deep dark and secret place
an ancient dwelling
I found a firefly at the bottom of well
I found a firefly at the bottom of well
I found a firefly at the bottom of well
dance to the darkness, dance to the darkness
dance to the darkness within your soul
tears will fall
rain unhindered and glorious as I turn
to face the night
feel it all
travel all the way through the darkness
to reach the light
for fear is no evil
nor grieving a curse
