I watch the ballerinas in the dark
every spoken movement counter-played
we can all find ourselves free again
inside and out mirrors study the emotional line
to run across imagination to re-process every critical point
we won’t ever stop running through daydreams
if we stop to questions why
if we stop to outline the detail on their back
will we ever understand which way we tick?
when you prescribe the distance I know the battleground too well
wake up another day to break this imagination across the silver screen
if you were next to me
If I couldn’t take a breath
I wouldn’t doubt redefinition
a vital clue going through your head
each slip, each belief to run through the sky
if I could speak
if I could speak to break the colors of silence
if I could speak like cathedral bells
if I could speak like the ghosts inside my head
to walk against the falling rain
if love didn’t fall apart inside my head
I see the shadows drop behind the heartache
reemphasize the social clues I am running so far behind
to cross out my window another day
tonight the church bells ring a different tune
to watch the cathedral walls one more day
to watch the smoke drop the critical line
to kneel before kingdom come every eye closed behind secrets reaching out for me
whisper past separation
tonight the church bells ring a different sound but only with you

watch a million spirits cross the skies
I watched you fall apart behind every second
whisper this world away
press the questions like damage
was I wrong to make things right?
all this time burning away
gauge the glimpse of this light
the pressure is too thick to control
break this silence apart
losing every color in the dark
you can’t break these balloons around my heart
to feel this emotion too deep
to feel this emotion like a chemical control
start all the days over in my mind
mistakes like dancers in the dark
if the light doesn’t shine today
let it burn me apart tomorrow
am I always wrong to choose different directions to get us apart?
one day they will rise to Heaven
like concealer to hide the black and blue away
like concealer to turn this world apart
shake this feeling to the ground
laugh again tomorrow
soldiers hear tomorrow
it hits them to the ground
in observation we pray for a new day of forgiveness
if yesterday doesn’t tell a story
someday we will march across the skies
everyday to define my faith
if time doesn’t answer me past the gates to prescribe the adoration
I can’t numb away the days lost
spin around this maze like a million pieces of doubt falling from my eyes
reflect the mirrors to break through the distance
a million voices gaining ground through the distance
to perfect the colors against the wall
I have seen the shadows spin through your heart
close their eyes to remember
television screens paint a true glimpse of tomorrow
pray for the days to absolve these sins locked in my heart
watch a million spirits cross the skies
witness men like magicians
look through the crowd
all the people lost on television screens
walk through this shadow
break through the cars
like the figures in the whispering room
counting the time away
when we walk through the streets
cut through this memory
time so translucent
break these paths cutting me away
kick through the wheels
behind microscopic eyes
detection at a point where it all matters
press my hands against your burning heart
all the time slipping away
crumble to madness
deception schemes can’t be found
when we lose imagination
I can’t find you here
all the worn out pieces
when you shoot through window panes
buildings hang so high
run through relapsing voices
images across my mind
don’t erase the polaroids
catch the traffic blur
men march past
flags caught against the distance
a place called home
determination never broken down
witness men like magicians
swim up & down the shores
can’t tell fact from illusion
forget my name in this town
