Lyrics

She says, "You don't talk to me. You let my questions hang. And it makes you weak and it makes you hollow, but it won't help your pain. Give me one good reason why I should let you in." Then I close my eyes and I put my guard up, but I could never win. Then suddenly I'm bathing her in my stream of consciousness. And instead of drowning she's drinking it in like I am the wine and she is the roses and we are both dizzy when the day first begins.


And she dances with the weight on her back that pushed me down here day after night. And I am no longer a thousand years old. And she's just a day past a child.


She takes off her shoes as the rain begins to fall. The street is cold but she doesn't notice floating above it all. Time it moves around her, but for me just passes through. And after I've talked for hours, she says, "Tell me something real about you". Then suddenly I'm bathing her in my stream of consciousness. And instead of drowning she's drinking it in like I am the wine and she is the roses and we are both dizzy when the day first begins.


And she dances with the weight on her back that pushed me down here day after night. And I am no longer a thousand years old. And she's just a day past a child.
