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
