We May Be Strangers
Seven crystal swans disturb the hollow
Shy storm of severed breaths between us two
The apocalypse is always starting somewhere
And we my dear must burn to grow anew
We lay here like an empty page abandoned
Impaled and wordless on a candle flame
Our edges curled away from all their knowing
Our centres darkening without a name
Heart and tongue tied
Voiceless we lie
One day sweetheart
The wounds that cut deepest
Will seem so obscure
I'll be no more than
A graze on your memory
You'll even wonder
What you ever cried for
Don't say nothing unkind
Let's not dwell in defeat
For we may be strangers
Next time we meet
Solemn are the spectres at the window
Silver are the drops beneath your jaw
Shall I summon fictions out of shadows
Or try to return to who we were before?
Heart and hands tied
Voiceless we lie
One day sweetheart
The things you held dearest
Will seem so obscure
They'll be no more than
A passing obsession
You'll think obscene
All the vows that you swore
Destiny's crimes
Are so pale and discreet
That we may be strangers
Next time we meet
So I'll savour all the echoes of your longing
Like rainfall on the embers of my thirst
And I'll linger like your scent upon my pillow
In every place that I may meet your ghost
Heart and tongue tied
Voiceless we lie
One day sweetheart
Blood in the ocean
Will be pearls washed ashore
We'll be no more than an
Old bottle broken
A letter unopened
A howl on the moor
Flesh and fate undefined
Sacrifice incomplete
We may be strangers
Next time we meet
Shy storm of severed breaths between us two
The apocalypse is always starting somewhere
And we my dear must burn to grow anew
We lay here like an empty page abandoned
Impaled and wordless on a candle flame
Our edges curled away from all their knowing
Our centres darkening without a name
Heart and tongue tied
Voiceless we lie
One day sweetheart
The wounds that cut deepest
Will seem so obscure
I'll be no more than
A graze on your memory
You'll even wonder
What you ever cried for
Don't say nothing unkind
Let's not dwell in defeat
For we may be strangers
Next time we meet
Solemn are the spectres at the window
Silver are the drops beneath your jaw
Shall I summon fictions out of shadows
Or try to return to who we were before?
Heart and hands tied
Voiceless we lie
One day sweetheart
The things you held dearest
Will seem so obscure
They'll be no more than
A passing obsession
You'll think obscene
All the vows that you swore
Destiny's crimes
Are so pale and discreet
That we may be strangers
Next time we meet
So I'll savour all the echoes of your longing
Like rainfall on the embers of my thirst
And I'll linger like your scent upon my pillow
In every place that I may meet your ghost
Heart and tongue tied
Voiceless we lie
One day sweetheart
Blood in the ocean
Will be pearls washed ashore
We'll be no more than an
Old bottle broken
A letter unopened
A howl on the moor
Flesh and fate undefined
Sacrifice incomplete
We may be strangers
Next time we meet
