Twisted Coil

Slide down into the silence
Numb the day away

Move closer to a memory
Feel it slip away

Life shivers in the distance
Whisper it away

Your sun is smiling on my ashes
On this perfect day

Shut down the guilt machine and
Wash your conscience clean of yesterday

Drown the ocean
Drain the sky
Wash the color from the sun

Still the thunder
Derail the Earth
Burn the stars out one by one
We come undone

Breathe deeply of your essence
Stir the scars beneath

Sing sweet a song so deathless
You belong to me

Life shivers in the distance
Wish it all away

Your sun is smiling on my ashes
On this perfect day

Shut down the guilt machine and
Wash your conscience clean of yesterday

Drown the ocean
Drain the sky
Wash the color from the sun

Still the thunder
Derail the Earth
Burn the stars out one by one
We come undone

Accusations run astray
Inside the guilt machine

Turning tension's twisted coil
Till nothing's left of me

Words unspoken feed the lie
Smile and say you're doing fine today

Conversation makes no sense
All logic stripped away

Situation's out of hand
In amber disarray

Words unspoken feed the lie
Another pill
You're doing fine today

Did you dream of distant skies
And thirst to roam and wander?
Did you die silently inside?

Did you think you'd find the answer
Behind the light?
Did you think you'd find a way
To disconnect your favourite pain?

Disengage and justify
To wash away the pain

Medicate and victimize
To purge you pure again

Words unspoken feed the lie
Drink it down
You're doing fine today

Did you dream of distant skies
And thirst to roam and wander?
Did you die silently inside?

Did you think you'd find the answer
Behind the light?
Did you think you'd find a way
To disconnect your favourite pain?

Life shivers in the distance
Whisper it away

Your sun is smiling on my ashes
On this perfect day

Shut down the guilt machine and
Wash your conscience clean of yesterday

Drown the ocean
Drain the sky
Wash the color from the sun

Still the thunder
Derail the Earth
Burn the stars out one by one

Drown the ocean
Drain the sky
Wash the color from the sun

Still the thunder
Derail the Earth
Burn the stars out one by one
