Lyrics

There was a time when stillness meant nothing to me
Once, silence meant lack of sound;
Fall came once a year
I danced, redcheeked
Each year's first snow
Tongue out to taste each flake's welcome sting
I laughed, distinct from nature's cycles
A scrap of wonder, floating in a torrent
Of sorrow I couldn't grasp
That laugh, mouth open, sums up my past
I craved fulfillment, too shallow to know
I could never be fully filled again

Here we are and it's open
I lay her down in the glow (half of creation's destruction)
Replaced the moon and the stars with candles
Black and grey
Is to drown, when yesterday... yesterday..

Fades through broken glass
(I hate what I've become)
Enclosed, please find silence
Fade through broken glass
(I hate what I've become)
Enclosed, please find silence
Everything's shallow
We're chasing ourselves
Beneath a stone
I am covered in make-up
It won't wash away
Beneath a stone
We are joy
I was just a boy
Goodnight

Beauty scar, powdered make-up
Melting eyes, smile of bone
I replaced the moon and the stars with candles
We are all the same, when everything... everything..

Fades through broken glass
(I hate what I've become)
Enclosed, please find silence
Fade through broken glass
(I hate what I've become)
Enclosed, please find silence
Everything's shallow
We're chasing ourselves beneath a stone
I am covered in make-up;
It won't wash away
Beneath a stone

We are joy, so take my hand
We are joy, so take my hand

Sing inside the shadows
She surrounds the love I hid
The beating of a god;
That won't let go
I know, black and grey is to drown in yesterday
'Cause we are joy, so take my hand
We are joy, so take my hand
