Love Comes Close

Everything changing will unchange again
Sun sheds the light as the life sheds the skin
You kiss your wish to the heart of the well
The secrets you sleep with will not break the spell

Come on lets go home
Buried in your room
Sing a song of death
'Til there's no one left

Love comes close
But chooses to spare me
Death comes close
But ceases to take me
I want to twist the knife a bit deeper
To siphon the love from the hearts I believed in

Look outside
World is exploding
Stay inside
So never knowing
Taking cover
With each other
Sleeping off a century of hope

Every day's changing to remain the same
Silhouettes shy as the rain runs the drain
Every day's decay debases the dream
The ghosts that will haunt you are not what they seem

Still you say your deaf
To depravity
But that can't be true
'Cause I know you can hear me
