The Collision

In motion she swipes past your face

With a blur that bleeds into one

Embellish her with beauty and

Embellish her with sight and sound

The stylish way to make someone

You love hit the ground

She swept me off my feet this time

She swept me off my feet this time

Pray, says the needle to the thread

This is the perfect sound

And where we both collide

Pray, says the choir to the symphony

Strike up the sound

That's running through our veins

Like martyrs who take their lives

In the sacrifice for the ones that they love

I'm vulnerable, I'm spread out

And I'm facing the blade

Until our curves they melt into one

Until our curves they melt into one

I have to make these words

Carry after I'm gone

Her pictures line upon the shelf

The portrait smiles back around

(Embrace)

If I held her up to the light

What would I find out about

(Expose)

So reveals the secrets

Of my vixen in the scarlet dress

A life comes full circle

I guess we lost the war

They said we'd last forever

When we both.. we both collide

In silhouettes they see themselves

Like floating sheets from which they laid

The ghost shape takes form from who we are
