you'll never doubt this heart
but the jackal's in my dreams and it's smiling at me
it's silent when i scream but still i'm crying out
when i'm where you are
we'll be the gremlin stars
strung up higher than a heaven in the cold rain clouds
denying gravity, now we're crashing back down
oh no, hey, where did you go?
i'll be right home
now the phantom is in the attic trying on her old dress
her shadows ate the shades of what was young and fair in flesh
still she's dancing to the saddest song her tragic heart has kept
i'll hum myself to sleep beneath her melody
she plucks the heart strings and now i'm courting this beat
oh, come to me
we're gonna see this through
so come to me
cause you won't know once you're gone
just come to me
if i could lead you
follow me higher
say i do
and never come back down
come tuck me in and kiss me dear with lips so pale as death
i'll taste them as i take you in and swallow your breath
the under-ghosts in her eyes find the gremlin stars
while over-ghosts in my arms hollow out this heart
and all her life's set apart, hidden here again
i'm higher and i'm higher
and it's here i find her holding me in
don't pull me out
when i know we'll never come down
