lyrics

Through a fog of damp and unforgetting
A haze of reminiscence
Ghosts of my yesterdays
Cast long shadows in the distance
Losing time and losing touch
With the future, the past and present
Losing sight of who we are
Cold comfort, cold complacent

Blinded by the failures and successes
Of my own choosing
Bleeding from dead thorns
Of dead roses of dead moments
Burning on the cold wet softness
Of making love to fantasy
Slowly rising from the ashes
Reborn… seeking divine clarity

Ophelia, coming up for air
Breathing through her pillow
Blunt impotence of history
Blank faces pressed against the window
Blurring into anonymity
Shapeless shades of our own invention
Lose them in the sunlight, lips pass, lips kiss
Sweet amnesia… resurrection
