you taught me how to talk, i didn't have the words before so between the pieces I knew I tried to fill the spaces between with gestures  the signals that ended up meaning the opposite  and having to pretend I understood the words, and when we walked across the night, asking how to say this and that- for this language I always sought  but never thought i'd speak and with so many words lost in translation  our hearts filled the spaces between

What have we done- to stay as us? In losing everything we were- how we augur gold into pyrite and it's true, I've been a fool- It's easier like this, to forget but those memories  are burnt into my skin ethereal; to stand in your light,  when it scorched my soul

How you've changed your tune, the songs you sing how you distorted every word and scramble to get the crowd with your flailing arms  how you scream your whispers and I'm too far away now and there's not anything  for you to do now-  so you can burn twice.
