The Wake |
| Come into my game of solitaire |
| You could enter in and read me like a scrawl |
| Adrift upon the tide and in the air |
| I will let you see the dreamer through the wall |
| I wish that we could pick the world apart |
| I believe there is someone inside the pain |
| Life is wasted here behind the veil |
| I will never be free |
| Can’t you see that I’ve mourned again |
| I watch the days they crash into the night |
| All the secrecy the angels never came |
| The fine line between what’s yours and mine |
| Is it mine alone the solitude of shame |
| The whispered word and now you’re on my side |
| I am almost alive in your care my love |
| I’ll believe you when you set me free |
| I’ll believe you though you don’t know who I am |
| Take me through the darkness to the world beyond |
| Will you wait for my arrival at the wake |
| No one will remember me when I have gone |
| And they’ll never understand they’re at the wake |
| The fear of fire burning red and white |
| Will my name remain carved inside a stone |
| Your celestial son is born tonight |
| To a waiting grave the dreamers have to go |
| I see the signs of the veil up high |
| I can feel you whenever you move on the wall |
| I’ll release you when you’ve turned the tide |
| I’ll release you and burn you away from my soul |
| Someone here will never see the world outside |
| I will never know who’s waiting at the wake |
| Someone here will never have to be alone |
| You’re the one who will remember at the wake |
| I’ll let the waters cleanse my eyes |
| And follow the priest into the circular light |
| I’ll let you go when I have fallen |
| And you don’t know where you’ve arrived this time my love |
| Curse believe me when I summon you |
| There’s another dream it beckons you to go |
| Summer’s waiting for you to be new |
| I’ll erase the dream now I go to sleep |
| And I can feel forever cry for me this time |
| You are not the only one here at the wake |
| No one will remember what was once my crime |
| And they’ll never understand this is my wake |
