I'm blowing heart-shaped smoke rings
That linger so briefly like openings
You just tell me to fire more shots
But I've given everything that I've got
My love is blind to me, invisible to you
And scrawled out for all the world to see
I've idolized you, I've dehumanized you
I've done everything but crucify you
Bury my face into my hands
Construct a mask of someone, anyone else
To kiss my mouth and bite my tongue
And seal me away while I'm still young
Why am I always so confused about her?
She is not the only person in the mirror
I know that the logic seems contradictory
That this great loss could also be a victory
Measure the distance from Heaven to Hell
Cause that's about as far as we are apart
No matter how many times this angel fell
I'm still closer to Heaven than your heart
Bury my face into my hands
Construct a mask of someone, anyone else
To kiss my mouth and bite my tongue
And seal me away while I'm still young
I used to be the golden rays of dawn
You were just the face that I fell upon
But someone always takes your place
One day I woke to find my power gone
Now someone else's light falls on my face
And I finally understand what's going on
After all the time my face shone like the sun
I needed that light more than anyone
