lyrics

HER:
I imagine a face
It came to me in a nightmare,
The proportions have changed,
But I recognise you.
When we entered this place
All the answers lay right there,
Now the exits are walls
And I recognise you.

I imagine a life,
Seems to me unfamiliar,
The perimeters are tight
And days go by without remark,
Now if this ain’t correct
Slap my face and set me right dear,
Is it a vision of the future
We wander through in the dark

How did I come to wake this late?
As in the night the world has raged,
You won’t speak and I won’t wait
For this cool change.

Where I imagine a face
Uncouth and unpolite dear
As rough as the day,
And as threatening as night
As the shadows take their shape
All the lines come into sight there
And the face that haunts me
Yeah I fight and I scream
But there’s nowhere to run to
Every though, every action
Has come to rest upon my brown
And if this ain’t correct
Smash the mirror and kill the lights out
now the face that’s in my dreams
Has come to recognise me too

I fall into your useless arms
Your lovely face,
Your deadly charms
Well, no one will know
If we’re going home.
