Light trickled over your black dress like rain
Your lips were hot and my shocked heart screamed
And I can't scrape my eyes free of this dream
We each occupy the same spacetime
Matter, antimatter, tangled like vines
And the awful tolling, and the cold rain outside
And I cannot scrape this dream off my eyes
And the embers of Eden burn
You can even see it from space
And the great and winding wall between us
Seem to copy the lines of your face
And the embers of Eden burn
You can even see it from space
And the great and winding wall between us
Seem to copy the lines of your face
You knelt on the carpet, crimson and stained Light trickled over your black dress like rain Your lips were hot and my shocked heart screamed And I can't scrape my eyes free of this dream We each occupy the same spacetime Matter, antimatter, tangled like vines And the awful tolling, and the cold rain outside And I cannot scrape this dream off my eyes And the embers of Eden burn You can even see it from space And the great and winding wall between us Seem to copy the lines of your face And the embers of Eden burn You can even see it from space And the great and winding wall between us Seem to copy the lines of your face Explain Request ×
