Two lovers, we met with the poetry in France We painted our life on broken glass Lost in the moment it felt right this time Beyond the embers of life glowing all around us It was always there waiting to take me away Dark and unwelcoming Out of the blindness my hands freaked again, it's getting harder Tongue tied and strung out we learned how to pray Into shapes, safe in my permanent gaze I can't really speak to you anymore Her presence melts away the past Drifting apart like leaves on a stormy sea Why didn't I get the chance to try There came the end of all beauty in life She was meant to be our shelter from the madness I thought she would make a difference But Julia, she made it even worse I thought she would make a difference She made it even worse I never saw the end until it came like the coldest wind It cracked the sky open and I was left out in isolation Out of the blindness my hands freaked again, it's getting harder Tongue tied and strung out we learned how to pray Into shapes, safe in my permanent gaze I can't really speak to you anymore Her presence melts away the past Drifting apart like leaves on a stormy sea Why didn't I get the chance to try I was the dark star on our glimmering sky The failing father I'd never become
