My Cordelia!
Soon, soon you are mine
When the sun closes her spying eye
History is over and the myths begin
The myths begin
My Cordelia!
Speak I obey your wish is my command
Your prayer is an invocation I await your word
Her eyes close and it is night but within her it is luminous day
Her eyes close and it is night but within her it is luminous day
My Cordelia, outside the door
Is a carriage waiting for us two
I’ll carry you away, we’ll ride heavenwards, dizzying heights
My Cordelia, what do you fear?
When we keep together we are strong
Stronger than the world and than the gods themselves
The gods themselves
Her eyes close and it is night but within her it is luminous day
Her eyes close and it is night but within her it is luminous day
The night is still, rise up
mysterious powers of love
Everything is a symbol,
everything is temporal
I shall enjoy my reward
I have loved her, but now on I no longer can
If I were a God, I'd change her into a man.
I hope never to see her again.
I hope never to see her again.

Darkness

I’m the reason why you jump
Overboard and off the bow
Of some old vessel
Hail the darkness now
I’m the reason why you throw
All the glass from off the shelf
Why do this to yourself
Hail the darkness now
You replaced the thing
with so much suffering,
But oh the curse on you
my dear it’s my curse too
I’m the reason that you drove
All the demons to this town
Took away your crown
in the darkness now
I’m the reason that you move
Turn the light off in the room
Nobody’s watchin you
In the darkness now
You replaced The Thing
with so much suffering
But oh the curse on you
my dear it’s my curse too
I defy the scorching sun
Now a new door has opened
Oh God what has begun?
Hail the darkness now
You replaced the thing
with so much suffering,
But oh the curse on you
my dear it’s my curse too
I defy the scorching sun
Now a new door has opened
Oh God What has begun
Hail the darkness now

Impossibleness
04:15
|

In the night, a pair of eyes
Appear in a dream
Am I still asleep?
You stitch me through the days
Mend weeks
Could you be the thing
Give me what I need
Make this impossibleness
Somehow possible
What more could I need?
What more could I need?
But to be(lieve)
I’m awake, to what you are
Faster than light, brighter than stars
I can’t control the life, the love
I look down below, I look up above
Make this impossibleness, somehow possible
What more could I need?
What more could I need?
What more could I need?
Than to be(lieve)
Make this impossibleness, somehow possible
What more could I need?
What more could I need?
What more could I need?
What more could I need?
What more could I need?
What more could I need?
Make this impossibleness
somehow possible

My Eyes Were Closed

If you asked me what I saw
I wouldn’t know, my eyes were closed
And if you asked me who was there
I wouldn’t know, I didn’t care
Some say there were colors
explosions, neon lights
But I/But I/But I/But I
Was face down in the mud
All I could see was the night
And everything was dull grey blue frayed
Just a worn out old page
No fissures, no seams
No light gleams, no air to breathe
I step towards you, you tiny thing
Will you come to-wards me?
My hand is shaking, think I’m gentle
Don’t know myself as well as i think
Are my edges too hard
am I too carefully kept
Do I/Do I/Do I
break too easily?
Will you pick me up again?
Open up my eyes I’m inside
Palms up, Eyes wide
Broken seals, unseamed
Eyes gleam, eyes gleam

Pieces

I am a body so take pieces from me
I cannot believe there’s nobody to stop me (ey)
I look in your glasses, you didn’t wear glasses
oh maybe it’s both of us slow as molasses
I am a secret / the whisper on your lips
I cannot believe / we are getting away with this
You take off your jacket / you didn’t wear a jacket
oh maybe it’s both of our / memory lapses
The more time that passes the more my heart grasps and relapses
In big gaps
of spasming gasps set in motion perhaps
by incidents
Just listen to my nervous system
I am a heartbeat / that has you on repeat
I cannot believe / you have already com-pleted me
I wait by the black door / there wasn’t a black door
Oh i don’t remember at all anymore (mmmm)
I am a memory / of all that cannot be
I cannot believe there is nobody here with me
I look for you here, but you never were here
Oh maybe now both of us have disappeared
The more time that passes the more my heart grasps and relapses
In big gaps of spasming gasps set in mot nion perhaps by incidents
Just listen to my nervous system
Tell me this isn’t tell me this isn’t in the big picture
Is there a big picture?
Your wit will get wilder / my skin will get thicker

I’ll see you in no time
Maybe you see you there
Maybe see you
Maybe see you there
Maybe see you
Here is always somewhere else
