When I Met You

You knew just everything

But nothing at all

Now the moon is dark

Feels like pain again

You could feel my breath

You opened my eyes

For I could not see

When I met you

When I met you

I could not speak

You opened my mouth

You opened my heart

My spirit rose

The marks and stains

Could not exist

When I met you

Now it's all the same

It's all the same

The sun is gone

It's all the same

But when I met you

When I met you

When I met you

When I met you

When I met you

You were afraid

When I met you

When I met you

When I met you

When I met you

I was the walking dead

I was kicked in the head

The edge had become

The centre of my world

The seams of my life

The streams of daydream

Like the wounds of a friend

Not the kiss of a foe

The peck of a blackened eye

A lie for the crown

When I met you

I could not speak

How I met you

Then I met you

My spirit rose

My kind of truth

Could not exist

When I met you

How it's all the same

It's all the same

The sun is gone

It's all the same

But when I met you

When I met you

When I met you

When I met you

When I met you

When I met you

I was the walking dead

I was kicked in the head

It was such a time

It was such a time

I was crushed inside

I was torn inside

When I met you

When I met you

I was too insane

Could not trust a thing

I was off my head

I was filled with truth

It was not God's truth

Before I met you
