well i once argued reason with an angel and i once fell in love with a fading star i traded all my silver moonlight for the fire of a broken heart so let the ravens weep let them beg for wine i've heard so much truth i could use a good lie well i once argued fate with a tear drop and i once kissed the mouth of a thousand years her eyes shined bluer than the ocean but i made them blacker than the darkest night oh, the awful joy of hurting and to hurt when the love that you built was both your blessing and curse there are wild rivers that run through our blood there are whispers still unsure that sit on our tongues there are heavy afternoons that rest in our lungs there is time to make the same of what we need and what we want.

teach me the quiet madness of the night hang stillness from my bones like an ancient star tell me about that silver moon rising mama, i got so much on my mind kiss me with the answer of a flower reach me like the gossip of the day touch me with the first chill of autumn mama, i got so much on my mind catch me like the shadow of a movement keep me like a stranger's familiar face confront my heart unto the healing dark of sorrow mama, i got so much on my mind sober me like sunday confesses secrets know me like tomorrow knows to wait break me like a fever in november mama, i got so much on my mind

your moon-splashed visions your meteor mind the desolate freedom of your skeleton sky has fooled your heart into believing lies that stitched your face to that social disguise of claims could it be now, mama, all that we have loved we've loved in vain? your truth, your forbidden fruit, takes shape now in the sound of my name perhaps it's the vault of my past mistakes the puts the fault on what you say but we must watch now how we talk for the words we choose, honey, they cannot return to the mouths from which they came your grieving black-out wish for a better life than i can give has tricked your eyes into seeing this from the hype of your emotions but not how it actually is could it be now, mama, all that we have tried we tried in vain? our frail, unrepenting veil of matchsticks that cannot lift a single flame perhaps it's the fate of the feather or stone that better decides the heavier fall but we both know it won't be long before the walls we built have returned to dust and unto the ground from where they came your dark-drenched toxic mouth of flowers has shed the words that bloomed these hours and covered your ears from hearing any sound that might reveal confrontation with yourself could it be now, mama, all that we have worked for we worked in vain? if the end was to be this way regardless of the wisdom we may have gained perhaps it was meaning we never obtained that had us become these criminals of shame for wherever we walk, despite time or place, the facts- they still remain the same: you can hear me rattle my cuffs and chains your twisted reasons your crooked cry the melting minutes that tell your time has confused your perception of what is right to the point of refusing even the best of advice could it be now, mama, all that we have touched we touched in vain? our haze of polluted joy that clouds your hope for the day that things might change perhaps it's the ghost that still remains of who you were before who you became that haunts my heart into believing all that has been lost could come back our way and things could somehow be the same.

your hands were born in the moonlight on silver ships and the salt lines i heard the song of your touch like a dream of hymnals sent by the sea the gentle rush of your splendor, your wore the waves on your crowning eyes the brightest light, such an arrant kind but feeling taller than the sun our foolish laws demanded night as we pawned the shapeless tide until the golden death of dawn and although i held my tears, my eyes- they were wrong i am not as strong as i thought i was for i understand if i can't be in your heart, but i'd do anything to just be on your mind your intent surrendered in confusion the knocking knees of two broken pasts the future cowered like a motherless-boy assuming it's best not to ask it wandered the city forever in search of a lover from some other life dressed in white with its motives in tact but daunted long within your mire, is a place of tangled sighs- they are mine where i've wrapped the night in a twine of your hair and although i cooled our fire, it was not without a cost: that which i once was unaware of, i now know and feel the loss for i understand if i can't be in your heart, but i'd do anything to just be on your mind my revolving wish to climb to your sweet and impeccable cry, has labored me a time-worn heart now tolling for closed eyes that we should be redeemed is a knot i can't untie oh, how i longed for you a place in my imaginary life for i understand if i can't be in your heart but i'd do anything
