A nightmare of youOf death in the poolWakes me up at quarter to threeI'm lying on the floor of the night beforeWith a stranger lying next to meA nightmare of youOf death in the poolI see no further now than this dreamThe trembling hands of the trembling manHold my mouthTo hold in a scream I try to thinkTo make it slowIf only here is where I goIf this is realI have to seeI turn on fireAnd next to me...It looks good!It tastes like nothing on earthIt looks good!It tastes like nothing on earthIts so smooth it even feels like skinIt tells me how it feels to be new It tells me how it feels to be newA thousand voices whisper it trueIt tells me how it feels to be newAnd every voice belongsEvery voice belongs to you

Tell me who doesn't loveWhat can never come backYou can never forget how it used to feelThe illusion is deepIt's as deep as the nightI can tell by your tears you remember it all I am paralysed by the Blood of ChristThough it clouds my eyesI can never stop How it feels to be dryWalking bare in the sunEvery mirage I see is a mirage of youAs I cool in the twilightTaste the salt on my skinI recall all the tearsAll the broken words I am paralysed by the Blood of ChristThough it clouds my eyesI can never stop When the sunset's glow drifts away from youYou'll no longer knowIf any of this was really true at all...

I've waited hours for thisI've made myself so sickI wish I'd stayed asleep todayI never thought this day would endI never thought tonight could ever beThis close to me Just try to see in the darkJust try to make it workTo feel the fear before you're hereI make the shapes come much too closeI pull my eyes outHold my breathAnd wait until I shake... But if I had your faithThen I could make it safe and cleanIf only I was sureThat my head on the door was a dream I've waited hours for thisI've made myself so sickI wish I'd stayed asleep todayI never thought this day would endI never thought tonight could ever beThis close to me But if I had your faceI could make it safe and cleanIf only I was sureThat my head on the door was a dream

When you screw up your eyesWhen you screw up your faceWhen you throw out your armsAnd keep changing your shapeTaste the taste in your mouthTaste the taste on your tongueOn the film on your eyes of what I've become What do I do when you screw up your eyes?What do I do when you screw up your face?What do I doWhen you throw out your armsFall on the floorAnd keep changing your shape?Jump right into your mouth?Jump around on your tongue? And the film on your eyes of the way I've becomeMakes me sick at the way that I tryAnything in the worldTo impress that I'm doing thisOnly for you
