2014 remix/remaster

lyrics

If I asked you to, would you tell me your name?
You could fill me with tales of a world without shame...
Where lies have no place, and tears make no sound...
The bones of my spirit are lying on the ground,
and there's a kiss...a kiss in the rain.

If I sang to you, would you come lie down?
In a sea of the infinite, we'll let ourselves drown.
And a procreation of a religion will begin
In a temple of soul-black hair, amphetamine-white skin,
And my God wears a gossamer gown

Everything's been fake for way too long.
Whatever it takes to keep this world in a box spinning on.
On and on...

If I screamed at you, you still wouldn't understand.
A lone daffodil turns to blood in my hand.
It's a raging tempest on a razorblade sea,
And your voice is a wave crashing in on me,
And God! I miss dry land.

Everything's been fake for way too long.
Whatever it takes to keep this world in a box spinning on.
On and on...
On and on...

If I begged you to, could you leave me be?
Could you let me die, wrapped in a memory...
of what once was, but what you could never see?
Now poetry pours from a crack in the wall
And music slides out from a doorway in the hall,
And the bound moon cries because he's free.

Everything's been fake for way too long.
Whatever it takes to keep this world in a box spinning on.
On and on...
On and on...

If I asked you to, would you tell me your name?
Then when I beg you to, will you leave me be?
