Broken Bride

Fifteen years I raged against the constant C, the speed of light

the diagrams and haunted sleep, fozen sheets, in bed, my dreams

your garden grace, I'd climb inside, hold your bones and slowly die

the cooling space inside your chest, my broken bride, you never breathed again

Circuits fail, the cosmic strings like rubber bands, I lose control

they snap, I fall through mist to mud against my face, the taste of blood

the world is strange, the sinking earth and giant tress

through heavy air a demon shrieks, what have I done, what hell is waiting or me?

[CHORUS]

I crashed before the birth of Christ

Pterodactyls swarming

You died in 1989

Want to get back to that morning in May

Keep you in bed, never escape

Holding you close, oh oh oh oh

Listen to you breath the evening glow

of fading light and cooling space

Like motor oil down my throat, I couldn't speak, I dropped the phone

the burning flares, the steam, your hair, biths of glass, they sparkled everywhere

like winter nights, the starts, the ice, all intertwined to hold and keep

like petals pressed in sheets making love to moonlight in our sleep

And now above the pits of tar, in a cave I hide

that massive, screaming thing with wings of reaper's cloth, it's standing just outside

I must get to my maching, I will bring you back to life

fix your ruined lungs, I'll undo what time has done

[CHORUS]

I carve your sweet name into the cave, I'm sure to die

All my strife has been in vain, the glaciers come and wash my words away

[CHORUS]
