lyrics

We once kissed in the rotunda
The marble statues stood miles tall
But then the city rose beneath us
And flung their bodies around like dolls.
Now we lay naked in the rubble
A wilting twilight bruises the sky
I feel like a saint who's walked a lifetime
Looking for a holy place to die

But my nights are black as hell
Your stars won't shine for days
My autumn haze is the kiss of your dismay.

After the violence of a dreamless night
Has purged the colors from my head
And I wake up in a boiling car
With a sun that wants me dead
I look for you in the mirages
That burn like blisters inside my eyes
I brought you flowers to line your halo
And a blue moon to light your sky.

But my nights are black as hell
Your stars won't shine for days
Your autumn haze is the cross of my disgrace
My nights are black as hell
Your stars won't shine for days
Your autumn haze will chill my sorry face.
