We lie to keep alive the secret
To hold the past in place
The sun at work, no love, no birth
Just shining on your face
We die to keep our souls as features
We hang them from our walls
The moon, asleep, no love to keep
The sting of life involved
Just like ships in the night promising to collide
Well, I'm casting myself aside
And the shoreline alight where the beaches divide
I can see it outside on the shrines in the air, in the air
In time, undone, no trace of one
Will bear the guts of day
The night will burn its wax, and wick
The stars will leave their stage
Just like ships in the night promising to collide
Well, I'm casting myself
And the shoreline alight where the beaches divide
I can see it outside on the shrines in the air
Just like ships in the night, promising to collide
Well, I'm casting myself aside
And the shoreline alight where the streets with the shrines, shine bright
And I'm breaking into the breach of the air in the air, in the air
