Lyrics

[Verse 1]
High or low... Where'd you go?
Are you stuck in the middle?
A spectral invisible ghost
I'm here juxtaposed
Like images of angels in the snow
Our courage melts away, it comes then goes
[Verse 2]
Where ya been?... Can I find
A glimpse of my friend
Don't know where or when one of us left
The other behind
Divisions came and troubles multiplied
Incisions made by scalpel blades of time
[Verse 3]
Comes then goes...
COMES THEN GOES
[Verse 4]
Can I say... How ya been?
I can guess and conjecture
My altered perception's unclear
Please interfere
Sadness comes, with it a sea of tears
Would some love be best had it not appeared?
[Verse 5]
Is this you?... Here I stand
Intense recollections of pain, self-neglecting again
Like you, I keep it in
Thought you found a game where you could win
Yeah, it's all vivisection in the end
[Verse 6]
Comes then goes...
Comes then goes...
COMES THEN GOES
[Verse 7]
High or low... Try again
She fell off the altar
A vision you caught her but then
A woodcut in red
I wish it was not you that she had led
Selfish navigation with no end
[Verse 8]
Where'd ya sleep?... Can I find
A deeper connection
In the face of rejection I'm trying
I'm trying
Evidence in the echoes of your mind
Leads me to believe we missed the signs
[Verse 9]
Can I try... One last time?
Could all use a savior from human behavior sometimes
And the kids are alright
The Queen of Collections took your time
Sadness comes 'cause some of it was mine
[Verse 10]
Comes then goes...
Comes then goes...
Comes then goes...
COMES THEN GOES
