You are the mystery I seek.
Silent waters running deep
How I wish I could just catch
A glimpse beneath the surface
Your kiss turns it all around
Your drunken kiss turns it all around
You're built from memories
Made in dreams
Am I sleeping - is this real?
Drunken battles - losing game
And as the doors close
Of this random subway train
Red skies and cold winds reaching out to me
Were whispering your name.
I used to be certain - end of the day
Beyond closed eyes there was an empire for me
Up in the clouds, from above
I was looking down on earth
When these days are over
I hope some night I will return
Deep down inside behind my eyes
Dormant infections come to life
Feeding off the memories
Of darker days in blackened chapters
Written half a life ago
And I can't stand your asking eyes now
Just turn around and let me go
Swelling ocean, dark searching waves
Frozen up on the shoreline
Try to run but my legs won't move
Forced to watch the same dream every night
Every night
Retrace the memories, unleash the storm
Deep down inside behind my eyes
Dormant infections come to life
Feeding off the memories
Of darker days in blackened chapters
Written half a life ago
And I can't stand your asking eyes now
Just turn around and let me go
