lyrics

And then the dream is over and I'm left gasping for promises.
I suppose that if I fictionalize the scenario in my sleep
Then I can do whatever I please. I can dream with breath at ease
And I can breathe without disease caused by songs of
Faded colors, faded wings, faded tapestries that line the attic now.

Besides now, her eyes aren't open...
And besides, now the shores are swollen
With just memories of our fair Morning Star.
And I could make a list that spans her wings of
The ways and shapes my love for her creates
And flies through every fucking shadow in the sky.

But I smile just as bright to show the sunshine has set in
And the motives that once hid are free to strike and stalk about.
And I remember to let her pout because her lips are just so pretty
When they're spitting yet still sweet inside.

A shallow glance, a sinner's stride.

And while I'm sifting through old photos
I see a child's eyes while staring at her face
With subtle hints of green that whisper of
Her wisdom and of her grace...

Christ, you were so bright that day.
I'm all smiles anyway...
I'm all smiles.

No more kisses from afar, my Morning Star.
