Bury me beneath the moonlit sky
even if the stars begin to cry
always and for ever we'll be
unified under a single melody.
Tears drip down from your eyes
years of dreaming have faded through your finger tips.
See them looking, hear them say its mental; imaginary
unreasonable, totally screwup-able.
Gasping underneath your stare, its not really real.
Absolution, liberation from my hallowed heart.
Realize please that this is not a dream.
Don't leave me now, now that I've shined through.
Reality hasn't caught up with me yet
even though you don't even see me, I try..
alone i slowly wish to flee
molding into partial infinity.
Breaking through my living high,
almost as if to say, i'm on my way.
Though I'm the same, though its not so plain,
hear them say, she's mental, she's irrational, she's changed.
Even the stars would be to say stay away.
Dreams die and I don't you to be a dream anymore.
Its not in the stars I grind,
no, but i could treat you better then you-penetrate your mind
Visions are burning bright in your mind
and they cause you to stop and rewind
no, no, no its only me in this alone...
Its all visual, its not physical.
Listen as they say its mental, imaginary,
like that bloody mask i put on you, its not really you,
ashen, grey, full of dismay-its gotta be someone else.
Crushing me with every gaze
releasing me only when you realize its you.
Even if you can't see it baby, no oh, I think you will.
Absolution, liberation, this is a fucking maze
made by you in unimaginable ways.
Bury me beneath the tear streaked sky,
as you dance bellow your veiled guise
believe me baby, its not physical, its in the mind
Young dreams like crushed in your palms.
Moths draw closer to the flame
and are repelled by its will to be untamed.
Kill me, Kiss me, your words cut deep,
even if you don't even see me there.
My, my you're an enchanting one,
even though you cant see it in me
Young dreams die alone in your fingers.
One day I'll cry a stream of vanilla for you
underneath the rays of the moon
realizing me when you really know the truth
say my name, is this a game? Bury me in you.
