Waves

If I asked you to, would you tell me your name? You could fill me with tales of a world without shame... Where lies have no place, and tears make no sound... The bones of my spirit are lying on the ground And there's a kiss...a kiss in the rain If I sang to you, would you come lie down? In a sea of the infinite, we'll let ourselves drown And a procreation of a religion will begin In a temple of soul-black hair, amphetamine-white skin And my God wears a gossamer gown Everything's been fake for way too long Whatever it takes to keep this world in a box spinning on On and on... If I screamed at you, you still wouldn't understand A lone daffodil turns to blood in my hand It's a raging tempest on a razorblade sea And your voice is a wave crashing in on me And God! I miss dry land Everything's been fake for way too long Whatever it takes to keep this world in a box spinning on On and on... On and on... If I begged you to, could you leave me be? Could you let me die, wrapped in a memory... Of what once was, but what you could never see? Now poetry pours from a crack in the wall And music slides out from a doorway in the hall And the bound moon cries because he's free Everything's been fake for way too long Whatever it takes to keep this world in a box spinning on On and on... On and on... If I asked you to, would you tell me your name? Then when I beg you to, will you leave me be?
