This is Where the Love Lies

On and on these kind

Black paper lantern lights

Ask me if it's my time

I'll go, but not tonight

Show me love behind

These broken-window-eyes

Give me the strength inside

To scare myself sometimes

Shot up from my sleep

A deafening call

I streak through the streets and fall

Up a shaft of light

To a loving place

Where we only dance on our own graves

Been missing it my whole life

This is where the love lies

Everything my whole life

All in a moment in the moonlight

Been missing it my whole life

This, this, this is where the love lies

Everything my whole life

All in a moment in the moonlight

Want not a flawless life

Must catch the falling knife

Need no more stars in the sky

I've got to sleep at night

Want not a cheap romance

Dull mind, or idle hands

If I can taste another day

The current has turned my way
