the veins of love

lyrics

so the tides are lapping at the sand
faith is like a broken man - always reaching for his mother
the pedestals of glory crumble down
when you realize what you've found
in the cold light of your bedroom
i break into the graveyard every night,
where i put up half a fight
for the names who say they need me
this blood of mine was poisoned from the start
i know it's dark,
but i've always found my way home

i'm tracing up and down the veins of love
and wondering why my valley's never green enough.
rain on me
gold sky, rain on me

there's a fire in the house
and i slip right out the back
i see a world that's vast and blue
i'm being pulled into the black
do you dream of me at night?
am i all that you can see?
is my love for you absurd
even though it's meant to be?
can i call you by your name?
is it wrong to sit and cry?
can you help me understand
why i don't feel so alive?
and i know i'm beautiful
do you think i'm beautiful?
have you heard me when i laugh?
have you seen me when i dance?
do you love me anymore?
