lyrics

"Pardon me, but the scene is not asleep...
But it ainʼt all the way awake."
And so you'll fall,
Fall right off the edge again.
But how am I supposed to know that?
I fold into it
I fold into it
But it was not enough to crush this lover's lusts.

I fold into it
(intuited)
Tip-toeing down fretboards in limbo
Doesn't wake the hordes up.
What we need is an essential melody.
Progress
A long way
So arm your harmonies
An elegy weʼll write ʻtil itʼs right.

And weʼll draw
No coda.
Lead me in to rougher love

You be Faustus
And I will play Him.
I will not leave this unfinished.

Letʼs be honest
Canʼt you take a hint?
I wonʼt leave this unfinished.
Valley, peak, valley, peak, valley...

And weʼll draw
No coda.
Lead me in to rougher love
Lead me in to love.

A long time inside the pale,
These lights Iʼve dreamed to dim.
Despite my best efforts,
Always persist to fail

Tell me I wonʼt fall again
When all is done and all is said.
Shadows of the past you seek,
Donʼt act like you donʼt notice.

And tell me I wonʼt fall again
(And weʼll draw)
All is done, all is said.
(No coda)
Shadows of the past you seek.
Lead me in to rougher love.

How am I supposed to know that?
And how am I supposed to hold that?
