Sunken Dreams

I remember desert places
Shadowless and cold
Where heaven looks down
On this empty hole
Lovers here to taste the ruins
Dark and obscene
But all I want is you
In my sunken dreams

I remember all the places
I remember when we met
You alone and graceless
Me covered in sweat
We hid among the empty aisles
Shuddered 'neath the scene
And your lips reached out
In my sunken dreams

She finished the move, presenting blue waves of doubt
Natured now and blown apart
This fury and cruel matriarch
She leads me to the edge of my own frail being
And my own mortality in question
The sanctity pushed me on and off to the depths of my own cowardly demise
And in this decay I find another day, will I burn at the stake
That I know into the decay another day, will I burn at the stake
To have a chance to obey
And will I start again
Where I first began
With a flat fluid embrace

And I remember when I tried to find a voice
In the distorted German channels of my own mind
And that seemed so long ago, that was so long ago

And I remember when I tried to find her voice
In the distorted German channels of my own mind
And that seemed long ago, that was so long ago
