found peace in the fight

a-lullaby-for-sleepless-architects.mp3

The mercury lights begin to flicker
The city's pulse is getting quicker
It pulls me into its embrace
To find my own forgotten space
I shed the person I pretend
And let a new me descend
Into the noise, into the sound
'Til there's no solid ground

And oh, this chemical halo
Is the only light I know
Your fractured smile is my escape
A beautiful and flawed new shape
And in your touch I feel the divine
A broken soul that looks like mine

We trade our secrets for a thrill
A hungry void we try to fill
We trace the scars we hide so well
Under this temporary spell
A sweet relief, a bitter sting
Forgetting almost everything

And oh, this chemical halo
Is the only light I know
Your fractured smile is my escape
A beautiful and flawed new shape
And in your touch I feel the divine
A broken soul that looks like mine

But morning comes, a loaded gun
Pointed at our fading fun
And for a moment, in the grey
I almost dare to turn away...

But oh, this chemical halo
Is the only light I know
Your fractured smile is my escape
A beautiful and flawed new shape
And in your touch I feel the divine
A broken soul that looks like mine

Looks like mine...
