We're Falling...

by Unrequited   Oct 23, 2007


Let this silence be your naked dream
this night won't let you down
stars with eyes, they shimmer
this heart, undelivered
and morning light will swallow you whole

midnight shadows
broken as a dead bird's wing
no more songs to sing
we share this tear,
in eyesight, we face this fear
let's trace this truth,
you were blind, blind
so very blind
let this burden free, as our love unwinds

and we fall to the gallows
we fall to the gallows
never do we notice
this dream becoming shallow
unforgivable
our love unredeemable
tongues lick the scabs
of this, our dying night
no more songs to sing
in midnight

angels walking tightropes
angels walking tightropes
don't forget to dream your hopes
before they slip down that slope
get up from your knees,
but don't bother walking...

we'll fall to the gallows
fall to the gallows
but never do we show this,
naked dreams and midnight shadows
unforgivable
it's irretrievable
in eyesight
so blind, blind
love was not meant
to be this hard
to find

stars with eyes, they shimmer
only to break the skies
shadows fall, never to be saved
tarnished angels now lie in their graves
dead to fall with broken wings
no more songs to sing
in this, our dying night
to the gallows, we fall
in midnight

love will always be there

put me inside
put me inside
peel back the skin
and let this heart crawl within
just say your prayers
and open yourself wide
let my silence be your naked dream
