歌词
I once loved a girl her skin it was bronze
With the innocence of a lamb she was gentle like a fawn
I courted her proudly but now she is gone
Gone as the season shes taken
Through young summers breeze I stole her away
From her mother and sister though close did they stay
Each one of them suffering from the failures of their day
With strings of guilt they tried hard to guide us
Of the two sisters I loved the young
With sensitive instincts she was the creative one
The constant scapegoat she was easily undone
By the jealousy of others around her
For her parasite sister I had no respect
Bound by her boredom her pride to protect
Countless visions of the other shed reflect
As a crutch for her scenes and her society
Myself for what I did I cannot be excused
The changes I was going through cant even be used
For the lies that I told her in hopes not to lose
The could-be dream-lover of my lifetime
With unknown consciousness I possessed in my grip
A magnificent mantelpiece though its heart being chipped
Noticing not that Id already slipped
To a sin of loves false security
From silhouetted anger to manufactured peace
Answers of emptiness voice vacancies
Till the tombstones of damage read me no questions but please
Whats wrong and whats exactly the matter
And so it did happen like it could have been foreseen
The timeless explosion of fantasys dream
At the peak of the night the king and the queen
Tumbled all down into pieces
The tragic figure her sister did shout
Leave her alone God damn you get out
And I in my armor turning about
And nailing her to the ruins of her pettiness
Beneath a bare light bulb the plaster did pound
Her sister and I in a screaming battleground
And she in between the victim of sound
Soon shattered as a child neath her shadows
All is gone all is gone admit it take flight
I gagged twice doubled tears blinding my sight
My mind it was mangled I ran into the night
Leaving all of loves ashes behind me
The wind knocks my window the room it is wet
The words to say Im sorry I havent found yet
I think of her often and hope whoever shes met
Will be fully aware of how precious she is
Ah my friends from the prison they ask unto me
How good how good does it feel to be free
And I answer them most mysteriously
Are birds free from the chains of the skyway
