lyrics

A morning full of omens
Leads to an afternoon of alien sights,
And sleepy towns keep talking
Long after Amber's name leaves radio dials,
The commotion subsides
Though she cries every night.

"I built this life from nothing
But twenty basement tiles and
Four barren walls,
I scraped and saved trying to keep
Some semblance of daily routine,
How I'd try!
But I'd lose track of time
When it's constantly night.

But if I see the sun today,
I'll know you care,
Yeah, I'll know that you're mine,
There's nothing like a single ray
Coming through the bars
To remind you you're alive.

Yes, we could start with nothing,
But we could end with something quite meaningful,
And though I know you'll never be
A willing player in this scene,
I can dream!
And you could make me believe
That it's lies when you say to me,

"If I see the sun,
I swear I'll stare until I'm blind!
I wake up from that triumph
Almost every single night,
You leave me here,
A lioness in wait,
To plan my escape."

Those precious few hours I own
Evaporate when you come home,
Like rings of smoke that leave your tongue,
Caress my neck and sting my lungs...

And down the stairs,
My curtains, tattered and torn,
My bed, unmade; my pillows, warm,
Then several days without reply,
I felt my name ignite the sky...

And I'll sleep through the noise,
Cast a spell with my voice,
And you'd almost convinced me
I'm more blessed than most.

But you had to impress the neighbours with your find,
It's that little bit of trust that everybody counts on,
Leaving me, a lioness in wait,
To leave without a trace...
