Lantern

Silently, suddenly, comes the ghost at your side
 Quietest enemy inside the dream
 Perfectly this reprieve, taken, but not given
 Loneliness, like a mist lost to the sea
 Eyes like violence cut desire and float down to the chair
 Always still God's windowsill and perfectly aware
 Say you'll wait till morning
 Say you won't run away (even today)
 Say you'll keep this lantern for me now (for me now)
 I believe make believe, play like snakes in your hair
 Empathy, up my sleeve, not really there
 Child's play in the waves by this silent lighthouse
 Drowning fast, pushing hard, nature less care
 Eyes like mice, cut through the lies and humourless despair
 Always still God's windowsill and perfectly aware
 ♪
 Inside this whirlpool you find yourself spinning and ebbing and flowing to me
 Nightmare diversion a hopeless uncertainty play in the wild wild sea
 ♪
 Say you'll wait till morning
 Say you won't run away (even today)
 Say you'll keep this lantern for me now (for me now)
