The Signal

The light dims slowly round this place where we sit

Entwined the silence whispers what's left unsaid

Around the space between what's real and what's not

This time the embers die away in the dusk

Twilight falling

This moment holds us between daylight and dark and now

Your voice haunts me

And speaks a truth that I know in my heart

I wait inertia seeps in time and in place

Your face betrays the thing that both of us fear

To stay the end seems just as far as the start

Tonight tonight this numbness now feels so calm

So calm

The bubble calls to me

It holds me in her arms

The oxygen's too thin but it sustains me 'till I'm ready to

Begin again to open up my eyes and wonder how

I lived without this perfect stasis

Waiting for the signal to appear

To appear

To appear

And then she calls to me

I hear her call to me

And then she calls to me

I hear her call to me

Safe and warm but never really ready to commit

The bubble calls to me

It holds me in her arms

The oxygen's too thin but it sustains me 'till I'm ready to

Begin again to open up my eyes and wonder how

I lived without this perfect stasis

Waiting for the signal to appear

The bubble calls to me

It holds me in her arms

The oxygen's too thin but it sustains me 'till I'm ready to

Begin again to open up my eyes and wonder how

I lived without this perfect stasis

Waiting for the signal to sound

Breathe in breathe out breathe in breathe out breathe in breathe out

Waiting waiting waiting for
