Pieces

I see her from the deep garden, and her hair is soaking wet
 The bedroom light is flickering to the pounding of your heart
 You close your eyes and count to ten, when they open you're asleep
 Slow your breathing down to meet all the shadows and the ghosts
 Pieces of your heart collapse to the sound of beating drums
 You can't contain it anymore, so just let the madness come
 There's something in the way she moves that just terrorizes you
 You try to piece confusing clues together in your head
 I see you there, you're shining like a beacon
 (Fabric tears) fabric tears, my love burns for you
 (The end of me) the end of me is in there with you right now
 (Car engine) car engine, still too hot to touch
 Married to her in your mind, and she loves you like a son
 Yearning for a place in time, and a home to call your own
 It smashed into you hard enough that you will not soon forget
 You want her like a sword and shield, and you want her here and now
 I see you there, you are my only empire
 (I call your name) I call your name but it becomes the wind
 (A sudden lurch) a sudden lurch, a quickening of footfalls
 (Bible held) a bible held above me like an axe
