My folly glides to that hallmark plank
Thine hollow heart in low ruin sank
A damp wind blows on collar upright
With yearning thick as chilled foggy night

To hell and back and then back again
I've come to you, my snug selfless friend
Through times apart these aches never end
And virtue at its own center bends

[chorus]
This holding on to all of what's not true
The very thought is what makes me blue
In longing form these dark drowned out sighs
Of silent sound shows no soft surprise on you

My grimoire dear of lone summing fear
Flights of nightmares shall encase our sphere
In farther shores we wished all to be
Reality or even make believe

[chorus]
Those distant eyes have so closely proved
The very thought is what keeps me glued
In captured form dreamt of your stronghold
And returned back to that heartthrob mold of you

A whimper out that's so low and deep
Visions of you are only in sleep
As all years stretch to insanity
We'll reach those stars filled with vanity

[chorus]
This holding on to all of what's not true
The very thought is what makes me blue
In longing form these dark drowned out sighs
Of silent sound shows no soft surprise on you

[chorus]
Those distant eyes have so closely proved
The very thought is what keeps me glued
In captured form dreamt of your stronghold
And returned back to that heartthrob mold of you
