A Hundred Crowns

Something in the way you want to be deceived,

I see you sell yourself.

You can trust your faith if it helps you to believe,

For me it never helped.

You can never suffer dissent.

Never dreamt of leaving you again.

And I can't pretend though I want you to,

You've been a saint you can be again.

I can't move on,

Believe in anybody else,

Until you are dead and gone or living again.

Say you're something more than what shows,

Because it's been so long.

I need your hands intertwined again just to feel at home.

You can never suffer dissent.

Never dreamt of leaving you again.

And I can't pretend though I want you to,

You've been a saint you can be again.

I can't move on,

Believe in anybody else,

Until you are dead and gone or living again.

We end and begin.

I can't stop dreaming,

But I've been awake all along.

To see you and break through is all I need to do,

But I cannot stay when you're wrong.

I cannot stay when you're gone.
