lyrics

sweltering within your shade
i breathe these breaths, like lead
wrapped in a heat
that burns through every dreaming word
that falls between us
silent to the shifting grass
that dances at our feet

we've spent ten thousand years
in this valley of frustrations
will you catch me as i fall
before the gates of you?

can we shed the pretense,
that this is who we are?

on the edge of exhiliration
speak to me in words, forbidden

dripping anticipations
always and forever, unrealized

we've spent ten thousand years
in this valley of frustrations
will you catch me as i fall
before the gates of you?
so tired, burdened with the guilt
of all we might have been

always and forever, unrealized
you are my always and forever, unrealized
will we remain always and forever
unrealized?

sweltering within your shade
i breathe these breaths,
like lead.
