lyrics

I close my eyes when I'm talking to you because I just can't see what you're going through
I gouge my ears when you're talking to me because we used to be good and now I can't break free
It's just the genesis...it's the beginning of the very end
It's just the genesis...from the cradle to the grave look at the messes we make
But nothing feels so right
Night terrors going to be home late I got the cold sweats but it feels so great
Night time but it's not so much waking life starts when I feel your touch
Oh what a loss...I guess we chained ourselves to the sun
A lot of feelings...from the cradle to the grave look at the messes we've made
I had come to the house, in a cave of trees,
Facing a sheer sky.
Everything moved,—a bell hung ready to strike,
Sun and reflection wheeled by.

When the bare eyes were before me
And the hissing hair,
Held up at a window, seen through a door.
The stiff bald eyes, the serpents on the forehead
Formed in the air.

This is a dead scene forever now.
Nothing will ever stir.
The end will never brighten it more than this,
Nor the rain blur.

The water will always fall, and will not fall,
And the tipped bell make no sound.
The grass will always be growing for hay
Deep on the ground.

And I shall stand here like a shadow
Under the great balanced day,
My eyes on the yellow dust, that was lifting in the wind,
And does not drift away.
