AND SHE WHO'S CRADLED IN IGNORANCE
WILL SMILE AS THE MARTYR BLEEDS
IT'S ALWAYS MORE ROMANTIC WHEN IT
DOESN'T EXIST, YOU SEE IT'S MY MIRAGE OF SUNSHINE

THE BUZZING WHIPPED BETWEEN
MY THOUGHTS, THEN STRUCK IT'S UNIVERSAL
POTION TO BLEND MY BODY
NUMB BEFORE I FREED IT UT MY ARM, JUST WATCH THE LIFE RUN

AN ANSWER FROM THE MIND IS QUICK
AN ANSWER FROM THE HEART COMPLEX
SHATTERED BY A SLOW REDUCTION
THE ANSWER FROM MY EYES IS DEAD

DEAD ANGELS DON'T DIE THEY JUST BOIL AND SHOOT

THE REFLECTION IN THE WINDOW
SEEMS TO SHOW ANOTHER ROOM
IT'S FLAT TO THE TOUCH AND
COLD IN IT'S PORTRAYAL OF VIEWS- ONE DIMENSION
THERE WAS A LIGHT I COULD'VE SWORN
I SAW ON THE OTHER SIDE
THERE IS ONE REASSURANCE
THE WINDOW HAS NO NAME THIS TIME- MIRAGE OF SUNSHINE

AN ANSWER FROM THE MIND IS QUICK
AN ANSWER FROM THE HEART COMPLEX
SHATTERED BY A SLOW REDUCTION
THE ANSWER FROM MY EYES IS DEAD

DEAD ANGELS DON'T DIE THEY JUST BOIL AND SHOOT

THE SUN IS SLOWLY WARMING MY SELF IMPOSED EXILE
WHERE MY WINTER HEART HAS LAID
MY STARE BOUNCES OFF THE WALL AND HOLDS ME, HOLDS ME
NERVOUS IN A GUTTER'S COMFORT- CHILLS AND FEVER FIGHT FOR MY SKIN

DEAD ANGELS DON'T DIE THEY JUST BOIL AND SHOO
