I'd walk the water to get back to you
and where I was complete
we found you scattered by the highway side too
soon to be released
gathered the pieces up and clean the places
where you were undone
and washed the wreckage out unfinished all the
thoughts that we'd begun
I came to burn the sky and tear away
the beauty that it sows
if I could rape the day and find the things I thought
I'd always known
leave it alone again tonight
I laid your arms out long untwisted there
and shaped what I could find
unmade the most of it and then left the rest
the parts unrecognized
my reconstruction was the only way
for one last look at you
i lost the sense of absolution
that we never knew
leave it alone again tonight
leave it alone again tonight
and it takes me back from this place here
it takes me back from this place here
I came to burn the sky and tear away
the beauty that it sows
I came to rape the day and find the things
I thought I'd always known
leave it alone again tonight
and it takes me back from this place here
from this place here it takes me over
and it might be lost in this place here
from this place here it takes me on
