ONE INNOCENCE (A SONG FOR JULIA) + SEVERAL MINUTES OF AN ABSURD NIGHTMARE EMERGING FROM THE UNIFIED FIELD

from HERE LIES by Kill Scenes

/

lyrics

to the oft plucked flower of my youth
both mage and empress
both sage and temptress
we'd trade our inks in clumsy cursive hand
i'd drink you in by line
pretend to understand

songs of experience too soon
they'd never bore us
from verse to chorus
you'd give my stunted words a gentle chance
so sweetly prop them up
their puerile romance

i was the child, you were the wise
looking at the world through one another's eyes
you'd give us truth when we'd hear lies
one innocent spared
one innocence dies

misplaced powers of my past
both fool and master
both friend and actor
you cut the shape of something i could be
if i could drop the fear
that never looked like me

i was the child, you were the wise
looking at the world through one another's eyes
you'd give us truth when we'd hear lies
one innocent spared
one innocence dies
one innocence lost
one innocent cries

fly on julia
fly on tom
fly on michael
fly on nonn
fly on kelly
fly on ray
fly on friends
light the way

fly on angels
fly on thieves
fly on martyrs
i believe
we keep flying
beyond the scream
beyond the seal
beyond the dream
