I made a desert Called it peace, broken with a topaz fist Do you know you're a lovely old soul? Fruit of my dawn, a mist settled in my marrow Through my heart like an arrow I feel bruises between hemispheres Left by sweet proximity, squandered in your fair city
Where I spent all my time getting high Feeling so worried, out of my mind But in my darkest throes, you could have been my open door
Now I keep falling out of myself Out of space and time where I'm never going to leave you Where you're mine, I'll never stray Oh, I ask you to stay, but still I fade
I made a desert Shadows on the vector with a shade of chrome Underneath blue skies I stepped around my own encryption code With you in my marrow, through my heart like an arrow Covet you, and I'll creep by the note you left In a bountiful dwelling
Where I spent all my time getting high Feeling so worried, out of my mind But in my darkest throes, yeah, you could be my open door
But I keep falling out of myself Out of space and time where I'm never going to leave you Where you're mine, I'll never stray Oh, I ask you to stay, but still I fade
So I'll attach my ghost unto your sweetness Through the white noise, white noise So that you may visit me in the night The night shows you are sleek; I am tinder Ember that I harbor (in you I grow so tired, in you I grow so tired)
Do you know you're a lovely old soul? Fruit of my dawn, a mist settled within my marrow Oh, but you don't know. No, you don't know, you don't know
You're the hymn on the pulpit; the arch up above The marigold thunder I hear on the distant storm Oh, I still feel it's reign in my bones
It's the sinew of my merit that is swelling with your love As swift as it is tender, it echoes through my soul Without it, I'm left in this moment With all I wanted to say
And I keep falling out of myself Out of space and time where I'm never going to leave you Where you're mine, I'll never stray Oh, I ask you to stay, but still I fade
