the morning light clings close to us
we still find comfort in our dreams
sand castle world is washed away
and nothing is as it seems
a stretch and then you're close to me
your breath upon my cheek
outside of time I listen to
the angels as they scream

they say

this could be the beginning of
another beautiful tragedy
this could be the beginning of
another beautiful tragedy

the fog and light hold you near
a mask upon your face
desperately
search around the room for
someone to take her place
another drink
as you look into their eyes
say anything
to forget the voice
as it laughs inside your mind

it says

this could be the beginning of
another beautiful tragedy
this could be the beginning of
another beautiful tragedy

a dysphoria
washes over me
violated by my dreams
every cycle begins
and ends the same
only angels hear my screams

just once
I'd like the high
without falling down
to be free of all this fear
I paid the highest cost
to buy my fate
and I'll pay it again
each year
