We lie To keep Alive The secret To hold The past In place The sun At work No love No birth Just shining On your face We die To keep Our souls As features We hang Them from Our walls The moon Asleep No love To keep The sting Of life Involved Just like ships in the night Promising to collide Well, I'm casting myself aside And the shoreline alight Where the beaches divide I can see it outside on the shrines In the air In the air In time Undone No trace Of one Will bear The guts Of day The night Will burn Its wax And wick The stars will leave their stage Just like ships in the night Promising to collide Well, I'm casting myself And the shoreline alight Where the beaches divide I can see it outside on the shrines In the air Just like ships in the night Promising to collide Well, I'm casting myself aside And the shoreline alight Where the streets with the shrines shine bright And I'm breaking into the breach Of the air In the air In the air
