It Shines

(album: Spirits And August Light - 2003)

The world's broken when I'm not here
And if we take it to its limits
Maybe no beauty left
Seeing things that aren't ours
For truth and delusion
Any kind of a difference

But on that night it felt like home
With a small amount of love
And that cliche pale white face
What her sad eyes brought me

And I want to be
I want to be where the sun is shining
I want to have you there beside me
And take me back to where the magic is
'Cause this fucking head it's hurting

Searching for bliss from between the lines
And if I'm given the chance
Moving in this world with good luck in the veins
'Cause so far, yeah so far I've suffered too

But no more dog-like martyrs to be
With these heads to shine hurt and curse
And no, I could not sleep at night
When its throes held me high

And I want to be
I want to be where the sun is shining
I want to have you there beside me
And take me back to where the magic is
'Cause this fucking head it's hurting
