lyrics

It’s not like the night to saunter on quiet and still
As I struggled to fight the urge just to get up until
She cried, yes she cried, a feverous wave of dolor
But it died, yes it died, with a whimper

I fell to the porch, traces of dawn crease the sky
The floodlights just mock the whites of her moony eyes
But I’m not all I seem, like the flaws in the code of our past
Revised in a dream - How I bleed!

It’s been months since I’ve heard a mere whisper
And now weeks since I set out from home
Not a day passes by without you on my mind
Not a day passes by without you

Your heartbeat ascends, a face full of feline intrigue
A ghost on the ledge, defying l’appel du vide
And he reads tragedies with parlor tricks thrown in for scale
While the lady in green turns her head

Cut me down now, baby, undress my belief
Siphon my spirit; give my bones some relief
Renounce your sight, we’ll take on the night

I asked for a name
She wrinkled the lines on her face
And surrendered a smile, eloquent in its disdain
Like a brief elegy on a tombstone adorned in his place
There she lay, interweaved, nigh to scream

It’s been months since I’ve heard a mere whisper
And now weeks since I set out from home
Not a day passes by without you on my mind
Not a day, not a day, not a day
