Pain unlike pleasure
Wears no mask
(What about trust?)
Its funny you should ask
The foes inside me crave to love you
But I prefer to close my eyes
(Here I come)
And I turn out to be the one
That can go on
You just have to be mine
I love you
And I have proof
(I dream alone)
Into the body of this boat
Take this ray of light
Veil the moon and hold the tide
Calm the wind you might
Control the sea
If you save my life
We will rise and shine so bright
That the stars go blind
And leave
Leave the sky
You're the world I want to live in
Can I exist in you
(Oh you want proof?)
If we allow our souls to fly
We could meet in the sky
You go your way
I'll cross the line
From to time
(You're the fire that burns me)
(The ice that cracks beneath me)
Take this ray of light
Veil the moon and hold the tide
Calm the wind you might
Control the sea
If you save my life
We will rise and shine so bright
That the stars go blind
And leave (the sky)
That the stars go blind
And leave
Leave the sky
Wears no mask
(What about trust?)
Its funny you should ask
The foes inside me crave to love you
But I prefer to close my eyes
(Here I come)
And I turn out to be the one
That can go on
I love you
And I have proof
(I dream alone)
Into the body of this boat
Veil the moon and hold the tide
Calm the wind you might
Control the sea
We will rise and shine so bright
That the stars go blind
And leave
Leave the sky
Can I exist in you
(Oh you want proof?)
If we allow our souls to fly
We could meet in the sky
You go your way
I'll cross the line
From to time
(You're the fire that burns me)
(The ice that cracks beneath me)
Veil the moon and hold the tide
Calm the wind you might
Control the sea
We will rise and shine so bright
That the stars go blind
And leave (the sky)
That the stars go blind
And leave
Leave the sky

According to the lyric book that comes with the cd, the lyrics are actually:
Pain unlike pleasure Wears no mask What about trust? It's funny you should ask
A force inside me craved To love you But I prefered to close my eyes And now you're gone And I turn out to be the one That can't go on
You just have to be mine I love you And I have proof I drilled a hole Into the body of this boat
Take this ray of light Veil the moon and hold the tide Calm the wind - you might Control the sea
If you save my life We will rise And shine so bright That the stars will go blind And leave Leave the sky
You're the world I want to live in Can I exist in you? Oh, you want proof Another shipwreck to amuse you?
If we allow our souls to fly We could meet in the sky You go your way I'll cross your line From time to time
Are you the fire that burns me? The ice that cracks beneath me?
I agree with LaLaLogics lyrics, they should be fixed...
I think this song is about regret of letting someone who loved you pass you by. It's saying if you come back and give me another chance...we will rise...and shine so bright...etc. etc. Then he is asking how can he prove that he means what he says? Pleading
"Pain, unlike pleasure, wears no mask" is a line from Oscar Wilde's De Profundis. I think the complete paragraph it appears in gives some insight into the song. It goes:
"Behind joy and laughter there may be a temperament, coarse, hard and callous. But behind sorrow there is always sorrow. Pain, unlike pleasure, wears no mask. Truth in art is not any correspondence between the essential idea and the accidental existence; it is not the resemblance of shape to shadow, or of the form mirrored in the crystal to the form itself; it is no echo coming from a hollow hill, any more than it is a silver well of water in the valley that shows the moon to the moon and Narcissus to Narcissus. Truth in art is the unity of a thing with itself: the outward rendered expressive of the inward: the soul made incarnate: the body instinct with spirit. For this reason there is no truth comparable to sorrow. There are times when sorrow seems to me to be the only truth. Other things may be illusions of the eye or the appetite, made to blind the one and cloy the other, but out of sorrow have the worlds been built, and at the birth of a child or a star there is pain."
