Spread out the cards on the table unstable,
In sweet perjury you recline in the hiding,
That you're only human,
And you need someone.
When pointing the finger, go fire sensation,
And all of the while on this apple you choke,
Deluded and dreaming,
As bee's swarm by the ceiling.
How long will I, have to wonder?
And quietly embrace the tide,
So quietly I'll face the tide.
Keep telling yourself that you're loving the freedom,
Keep telling yourself there's no good in the sharing,
Of life and feeling,
Of flesh and cohesion.
And the balloon ever swells close to bursting,
The mask it recedes - Go hide or they'll see!
Whilst the barricades are up,
Hide whilst the barricades are up,
Before the barricades are torn down.
How long will I, have to wonder?
And I know it well enough,
Oh yes I know it well enough,
Forever.
Lost in the tide, you're last in the line,
And you have betrayed yourself once again,
Lost in the tide and you're last in the line,
Last in the line, in the tide, hide the crime.
How long will I, I have to wonder?
How far will I, have to wander?
Before a touch will still the fire,
And before a voice will kill the ache...
Forever,
And ever.
You're no more than a contradiction in terms,
When born to the twin - it's hidden your needing,
And so closely guarded,
We all need secrets,
And no-one should know that,
You could need someone....
