lyrics

Perfectly balanced right
Between night-time and breaking day
When the clocks are ticking in time
I can lip read
Click goes the missing piece
I’m feeling high now
Daylight dances on his wrist
Pulse a distant beat
He seems lost at moments
Singing those blues of his
A heart is a fickle device
This is where I want to be

Her salt lips taste maritime, a volatile valentine
Words written at 451 Fahrenheit
(Perfectly balanced right)
In a dystopian present day the silence resonates
She turns as cities burn looking for a better way
(Between night-time and breaking day)
Sunrise touching me: a trick of the light
Her eyes shine playfully, picking a fight
(The clocks are ticking in time)
Suddenly displeased, I ask won’t you miss me
She says move closer ‘I can lip read’
(I can lip read)
Raven-haired, she steals ma breath as she kisses me
Draws my soul through the gaps in my missing teeth
(Click goes the missing piece)
She smiles, raises an eyebrow and I could die now
Whispers in my ear and the screaming dies down
(I’m feeling high now)
She smiles like a nymph and laughs like a witch
I’ve been trying to find a way to capture her since
(Daylight dances on his wrist)
Talks of mystery, and of history
I stare in disbelief and admit defeat
(Pulse a distant beat)
I tell her ‘you fix me and I'm often broken.’
She maintains the mystique in constant motion.
(He seems lost at moments)
Trickle feeds a mixture of truth and myth.
With words that when spoken they bruise her lips.
(Singing those blues of his)
I think her heart is bigger than mine
As we sink together with our fingers entwined.
(A heart is a fickle device)
And stay twisted together. Born atomically.
I pray that forever she’ll be haunting me.
(This is where I want to be)
