In the low light, through time and space
Darkened murmurs—hymns—obliging
You bare your scars, your pain, your face
And to your knees, fall beside me

Reunite, chemical plateau
You're the words I've never written
Offer apologies, although
You are already forgiven

Whisper your name through the static
As you cry mine, I am lured
Angel, demon, enigmatic
Only to me, you're unobscured

No mask as our lips crash, compete
Who will suffer more in farewell?
This place where we can always meet
Halfway between heaven and hell

Submerged in bliss, ephemeral
Paintless fingers along the skin
My mind as your confessional
Washing away your every sin

Dark prayers to feel the real you
In ethereal duality
With open eyes, all will undo
Mourn the love that could never be

This grand reprise in agony
Return to anonymity
For a moment, come home to me
Even in dream, even in sleep
