Divided by loyalty, surrounded by emotion Nobody under here, remembers any mercy at all We stay down Deciding the borderline Maya, did no-one tell you ? I couldn't have made you mine 'Cause I feel your pain more than my own All the love gone astray There will be hell to pay this time For those of us born to die There'll be none to testify Time and time again I skin the world, keel it over Spinning on its side, beginning as it ended Through these diamond eyes Maid of Morphine settled in my side Did she intervene Don't know where I know you from Time and time again I've lived enough in silence It's getting harder now to keep the violence in me Someone I once was, raised upon a gallant rider's knee Mortal memories lost among the unrecalled Set the cross of fire (if I live) These are the only ones (if I've loved) Remember who they are If I look, I see them everywhere Don't know where I know you from Told me, go the way of your heart I'll be waiting for you But wherever you are, you're not inside me now Told me, try to sleep, I will come But I'm still waiting for you And wherever you are, I'm still inside you now I'm never going to cut through without you now If I get ascension or die All the love that was mine denied All the love that you qualified Like a desert I'm open wide There's nowhere for me to hide at all For your love, I can never go back Every one of us is herded and contained Not a single one invited Voices circulate around the musty hall And the kerosene's ignited Through the rising flames that lick against the flesh Incandescent in the crossfire Do my eyes betray the longest night of all Do I see or dream of Maya ? But he's got us where he wanted us to be Undivided, under control As the narrow margin finds us face to face As he laughs across the foxhole Nowhere was ever safe enough for all of us No one contender cared about getting out Tied now behind the hungry fire meant for us Scattered like dust and finally free Held together by fear I can't be the same, too much has changed Undeniably real and it's better left unsaid All the love you said was nothing Find a rhinestone not a diamond I never wanted this Left alive and laid to rest Told me I was brighter than most And I believed it all then Through the dangerous times I needed more than cold eyes I want to be alone To dream myself away from darkness and decay As I try to forget it No-one entered into my mind more than Maya Someone she believed I could be is burning in me Now I want to be alone like a stronger man Then I can understand As I try to remember where I know you from Provider, are you inside or am I ?
