Far Edge
don't want to explain it
i just want to drain it
clarity is overrated
and so i compensate
with nonlinear bullshit
and dialogue that would make a madman proud
my shroud is purple and faded
and my cloud streams god light down upon your neuroses
hold me
hold me
until it's gone
whisper in my ear
'til it disappears
kiss me until it fades to black
back me up when I scream
NO!!!
GO!!!
I KNOW
(the truth)
no one knows our language
which is cool
a tango for two
makes sense to me
so much for free
you still don't get the miracle
but that's okay
I get it enough
for the both of us, baby
we speak it and know it
so feel it
and take it to bed
this is our secret
my love
my love
my bright shining love
pure as white
and just as right
or wrong
our song
makes me laugh
and stop the press
guess who loves you most
I toast your smile
and guileless splendor
I'm nothing more than a hopeful lender
hoping you'll give me some sweetness back
but even if you don't
there
is
no
lack
