The Sky Beyond The Sky

The shimmer and spell
The faint glow of the slightly unreal
The shimmer and spell
A world between worlds will always appeal
Maybe all I need is refuge in romance
The moving image
Scenes and rhyme schemes, scenes and rhyme schemes
The shimmer and spell
A world between worlds, a world between worlds
Maybe all I need is refuge in romance
The magic of the margins
The borderlands
The borderlands
Frame by frame
Line by line
Frame by frame
Line by line
The hard to define
Things you can't name
Voices from a delicate plane
Maybe all I need is the sky beyond the sky
It's never been about answers
It's never been so cut and dried
More the thrill of all that hides
The whispering of all that hides
Frame by frame
Line by line
Frame by frame
Line by line
The hard to define

I'm looking for you today
But everyone I see
Is just another reminder
I won't find you
I'm looking for you today
But I won't find you
We had things to say
But you're so quiet these days
You're so quiet these days
These days
The nights are now less holy
The mornings hold less promise
The looking leaves me lonely
Every corner tarnished
The looking leaves me lonely
Every street and corner tarnished
We had things to say
But you're so quiet these days
You're so quiet these days
These days
And every place you're absent from just tells me me over that you're gone
And every place you're footsteps fell just tells me of a different world
I wasn't always this alone
I wasn't always so alone

Everything from here on in
I'll keep within
The quiet light
The waking up after the dream
I will give nothing away
I will keep my distance always
Softly sheltered
Softly safe
I lost ground
I lost the will
To do anything but slow to a standstill
But beauty still gets through
So happiness does too
The pull of life
The pull of life
So from some things it seems
I am not beyond reach
The pull of life
The pull of life
And to the living the world keeps giving
There's no stopping the pull of life
The pull of life

Cold fog
Pale danger
Paperclip key
Blood movesa
Sweet witches
Sorcery
She watches
Secretly
Not daring to breathe
Needles and caves
On thin ice she skates
She picks at a lock
Knocks on the cross
Then slips away
Then slips away
Volcanoes
Wrong decisions
Scarecrow ink
The beating
Of black wings
Too many tall buildings
She watches
Secretly
Not daring to breathe
Needles and caves
On thin ice she skates
She waits to feel lost
Knocks on the cross
Then slips away
Then slips away

Do I have to return?
Do I have to resurface?
Now that I've learned
To be nothing?
Do I have to return
To the land of the living
Now that I've learned
How to give in?
I withdrew
Further and further
Into my own
Antarctica
Never a thought
For counting the cost
Where the sun never rose
Where the wind never dropped
I saw nothing wrong with
Feeling I did not exist
Had somehow disappeared
I don't know what to do
Now it seems
I can still be seen
A bed of snow
A bed of crystals
My very own
Antarctica
