By some strange logic I am trapped

Trapped between you and the ravine

We intertwine so deep we can not tell

Ourselves apart, where you end

And where I start, cornered in

Like cattle are, it was a battle

Of strenth, verses strength

I owe my love to you

But to you I also owe my hate

-

By the river of stars I stare longfuly

Was it wrong of me to desire

What only the fire could bring to me

A passion so hot, it would burn us both

If truth be told I don't value gold

Nearly as much, as I once did

I was a kid, much too long

Now I'm older and wiser

But my eyes still betray me

-

I undress your beauty with my mind

Behind all these walls and boundaries

I'm still just a man

Though I hide it well

Until you come creeping back

With all the memories and photographs

My past consumes my mind

And what I find, I do not like

But I must deal with

-

By the highest and brightest star

I call upon the wishing well

And I wish upon this penny coin

I need all the luck

I can get my puny hands on

Now I'm finally here

This place I have crawled

And troubled for

My hands are bound, and so are yours

-

By some mistake I find you there

With your chestnut hair and your broken smile

So I crawl to you, and I fix you up

Good as new, and lay beside you for awhile

And talk of love and light

And things to keep us up at night

I tried to play Jesus

And save your soul

But it's just not my role

-

I undress your beauty with my mind

Behind all these walls and boundaries

I'm still just a man

Though I hide it well

Until you come creeping back

With all the memories and photographs

My past consumes my mind

And what I find, I do not like

But I must deal with
