Lips Like Ether

You slipped into my bloodstream through a severed vein Anaestheised the pain in a heart of lead Now I know that you're not heaven sent Maybe what you said wasn't what you meant It went straight to my head And in your room, the streetlight Was shimmering like a magic lantern And I thought I must be there With your lips like ether Leaving me blind You take me to a higher place Leave me behind I feel that I'm on hallowed ground I'd never allow anyone to shelter me I chewed the words till they sounded like lies But then you came, kicked down my door And I saw you shine like a lighthouse on the shore The sunrise in your smile And somewhere in the silence I rise above the fear, the violence You let me be rich for a while With your lips like ether Leaving me blind You take me to a higher place Leave me behind I feel that I'm on hallowed ground Though yours is not the air that I breathe Though I'm lost to all the beauty you see I want to believe I want to believe You slipped into my bloodstream through a severed vein Anaestheised the pain in a heart of lead I was hungry, I was weak But at the time what seemed so oblique, I I won't forget Sometimes when I'm with you I feel nothing bad could happen to me But I know that is not true With your lips like ether Leaving me blind You take me to a higher place Leave me behind I feel that I'm on hallowed ground Oh no, no, no Your lips like ether Lips like ether Leaving me blind, leaving me blind Take me to a higher place Leave me behind Oh, you leave me behind, yeah, yeah
