In a dream we had together In a vessel of blinding light I was bleeding from the mouth You were dressed in someone else I saw it coming You were the tempest and I was the storm You were the archetype of my disgust Yours were the arms that kept me weighted down In a vessel of blinding light The lifeless stare you gave me was all we had left A chemical releases A scattered signal And you confessed In a vessel of blinding light The lifeless stare you gave me was all we had left You were the tempest and I was the storm You were the archetype of my disgust Yours were the arms that kept me weighted down I'm bound to break your fall To watch you heal In the stillness before the rising tide Raise your flag And you take the guilt from those words you bled Raise your flag to the sun In your last attempt you failed us again I'm bound to break your fall To watch you heal In the stillness before the rising tide And I still have my hope to pretend That I'm finally breathing To leave well enough alone was too easy It was too easy and it swallowed my heart
