Gargoyles play in your consciousness
Between insecurity and false confidence
In your firm sense of righteous deviance
They find a nice place to nestle in and call home
You’ll never be alone, but you’re always on your own
I want to dance with them
Bathe in this disastrous requiem
Take the shades of complexity onto my tongue
All given, no condition; tasted affliction

I would give you truth, but it’s dynamically divine
I would give you a sense of security, but that’s a silly thing for the constructs of your mind

When I finally open my eyes I see

You and me naked in the rain
Dancing in droplets, dripping pain
Laughing, dancing in puddles of shame
Soaked to the soul

Let me go on an exploratory dive
Swimming into the depths of your mind
And if I make it back alive
I’ll go again deeper, deeper
Hoping to transcend the beginning of the end
You can challenge me, you can shake my beliefs
Shock and awe, beckon and tease
Chew and spit, plead guilty and unravel me
Playing between senses, playing between defences

I would give you redemption, but to have redemption you have to have faith
I would give you illusion, but as your own illusions will demonstrate

When you finally open your eyes you’ll see

You and me naked in the rain
Dancing in droplets, dripping pain
Laughing, dancing in puddles of shame
Soaked to the soul

I want to play in your consciousness
Between magical and infectious happenstance
In your firm sense of righteous deviance
I find a nice place to nestle in and call home
You’ll never be alone, but you’re always on your own

I would give you second chances, but to have a second chance you have to fuck it up
I would give you moments to see me too, but moments never seem to last long enough

If we ever open my eyes I know we’ll see

You and me naked in the rain
Dancing in droplets, dripping pain
Laughing, dancing in puddles of shame
Soaked to the soul
