Her

For a long time I'd been dreaming
Or remembering the past
Then one day I saw someone
Who drew the fog away at last

A child behind the thick divide
Between the world and lonely minds
The lucidity I found to breach
The serpentine divide

We fly
Towards the tortuous love
Only our eyes can describe
How the dreams of two people combine

We fly

I lived once more in tension
Sometimes that can feel the best
Defences down I learned what made
Her different from the rest

We fight to find the light inside
The darkness of our minds
Through intimacy we hope to mine
The pearls to which we're tied

We lie
Down in tortuous love
Only our minds can confide
And the dreams of two people combine

We lie

I would tell her not to worry
Now that our hands are tied
But maybe we should hold on to
This thrilling wondrous ride

The bonds can bite but hold us tight
And keep us focused on what's right
The fluidity of this divided
Daedal dream of life

We try
To contain tortuous love
Only we can define
How the dreams of two people combine

We try

If not for the trees
Then the birds and the bees
Would have nowhere to be
When they'd finished with me

Sometimes there's singing
And sometimes there's stinging
But we'll keep on swinging
From these ropes in the breeze

We can blame no one else
Because we've tied them ourselves

We fly
