Well the day moves on
And he shines so bright
He shines like a star
In the daylight

Well the day moves on
And we just sigh
As dim as the rest in the daylight

But when the sun sets
They, too, shall fade
As dark as night
And just as plain

Well he p

Oh you will ride your foxes
You'll swim with armies
You said you'd build us a tower where we can stretch our legs and be free
Oh you have built this tower
Made of lies and misery
You scraped the skin from my arms
Tied knots in my veins
You have built this hole from me

Peppermints and liquor laced
You don't know
You don't know
Take my hand and no one will ever, ever know.

And sure you had her at your fingers
Could navigate with your eyes closed
And sure you knew all of her pieces
Our Lady of Nobody

Such a disappointing puzzle
The chase is always better than the catch
And who could blame you for getting tired
Our Lady of Nobody

And I can't admit I love you
I don't think I know the words
As graceful as hair in water
The arch, the curve
And I have kept this buried beneath me
Under floorboards and behind walls
And I could write it down in lead here
It will fade, after all

Safe and soundle
