Lyrics

To the memory of our simple symphony
Crawling as a cloud parade right through me
Like a blizzard of disease
Am I sun light or am I monster moonlight
Shining my imported pain within your frozen river veins

I plead guilty to what you put before me babe
Oh I stand my hands to fly like steeples chasing universal highs
Can you feel my time ticking by
Like white water rushing through the ripples of your teardrops dripping dry

Oh baby why
Oh baby why
Baby why
Every time must one of us die

And if I could sing the blues love
I?d sing the blues to you
And if I could make love
Love
I?d make love to your blues
Make love to your blues

Is this open armed invasion of a loveless embrace dear
Twisting fate or chasing empty reaches of distaste
Are we lost in this piece less puzzled place
Where every sign for every crime leads us on a road to murdered grace

Oh baby why
Oh Baby why
Baby why
Every time must one of us die

Shall we dance beneath the diamond dreams of marble eyes
And let the tongues of freedom lie hidden in the screams of deafened cries
Or shall I cast my cold white breath to rise
To be as one with will demise
A word killed soul by verbal genocide

Oh baby why
Oh Baby why
Baby why
Every time must one of us die

And if I could sing the blues love
I?d sing the blues to you
And if I could make love
Love
I?d make love to your blues
Make love to your blues
