Deep Red

heaven in ruin stranded somewhere between light and dark hidden while you stand still by the silence of modern noise you signed your name over to me we dedicate ourselves to see how far we might try to extend where you begin and where I end (memories are all we'll ever have) I heard the future calling over the morning light this future never started headlights carve out the dark distance starts to ache more than hurt the bitterness of where we are buys one more drink at the hotel bar phantom limbs left the door ajar where we end up is who we are how much more should we have know I'll just keep calm and take it slow the bitter tasting pill I had to swallow is you don't lead but you never follow (memories are all we'll ever have) I heard the future calling ever so long ago this future never started I did all I could do the hand I dealt's the hand that beat me I tried to give myself completely but this is what the future called out (memories are all we'll ever have) I saw this future ending over the morning light this future's never ending I hope some day I'll get it right just one time persuade me one last time persuade me cause I'm walking away last time before we go I hope some day I'll get it right I hear the seconds ticking the day while the emotion washes away I hear the anger mounting to nothing its just the next crest of the wave sing it in silence
