The Evening's Mood

Lest I slip on a silent goodbye
And fall into your welling eye
I clutch the iris edge so blue
That endless, sunless, mine in you

In silent passion I lay, a sigh
And dream my words could come alive
Skipping stones off yesterdays
Where ripples shift to tidal waves

A sinking dusk on a canvas sky
Exposing tomorrow for you and I
Will you walk my left when I walk right
On the distant streets of a passing by

Life made knees for hugging tight
And tears were made to blur the light
When my world is cold and grey
I can explain it no other way

No other way
No other way
No other way
No other way

I don't breath well
But I can bleed well
I can't sleep well
But I can scream well

Visions of the onslaught
I am all twisted in a knot
Taste the sweat between your hips
The oncoming apocalypse

I don't breath well
But I can bleed well
I can't sleep well
But I can scream well

There's not much that I'm good at
But don't you ever assume that
When summer heat sticks to you
And you can taste the evening's mood

And all the trees bend low to hear
This chord shimmering in your ear
Sweet life, allow me to
And I will show what I can do

In the desert stars are brightest
Like a million diamonds pouring over the world

I'm not dreaming
This is living
I'm not trying
Only sighing

Life is short but I am here
I will not live my life in fear
Exaggerate your every move
Anticipate the taste of you

I'm not dreaming
This is living
I'm not trying
Only sighing

There's not much that I'm good at
But don't you ever assume that
When summer heat sticks to you
And you can taste the evening's mood

And all the trees bend low to hear
This chord shimmering in your ear
Sweet life, allow me to
And I will show what I can do

In the desert stars are brightest
Like a million diamonds pouring over the world
