Clean Disintegration

Pulled a crystal from my brain Bled out a dream I can’t explain Fell through a mirror with your name Too bright to burn, too cold to stay I saw the shadows on the screen Flickering visions of what had been Three sparks that danced and then were gone The last one still is holding on I saw the bottle by the beam Where we erased a holy scene No prayers, no saints, no smoking gun Just a clean disintegration A clean disintegration Cool like a deathbed kiss Lit like a comet crash Fooled by a cosmic myth There’s a line that keeps on bleeding, feeding All the lies we once believed in But I’ll reach in once again Cut through stars to feel something Faked a pulse inside the shame Carved out a face and gave it blame Danced with a shadow in the hull She kissed my cheek, said “take the fall” No halo, no command from above Just red ash in the gloves of love Your silence was the final code Typed out in smoke signals before you froze There’s no return from what we hid No altar left for what we did But I still see the memories of you flash A ray of light through all this ash A clean disintegration Cool like a deathbed kiss Lit like a comet crash Fooled by a cosmic myth And the sums they never tally, sadly Stars don’t give a damn who’s asking But I’ll crawl to light again Face the edge just to pretend Tore the fabric from the sky Wrote my name where gods would lie One last orbit, one last scream Just to wake inside your dream I’m the fracture in your faith The kiss you never meant to take The voice that’s hiding in your prayer The mask that vanished into thin air Cool like a deathbed kiss Lit like a comet crash Fooled by a cosmic myth That the stars don’t shine for us at all No, they don’t shine for us at all They burn, they blind, they never fall The stars never shine for us at all..
