lyrics

I feel my breathing begin to increase
It covers me like an eiderdown of sweet dust
It's like silence
Interlaced by the clinking of glasses

Like a dense mist in the garden of tangerine
A vase full of foam
In which I drown
And chase the dragons
To catch them by their golden tails

Into the wild eyes
I tumble and drown
In between the warm smudges
Of this ocean of smoke
Green and red lights on the shore
A thousand stars colliding
And I am another

Green lamps flood me with their light
They speak the language of the moon
As I break through the black sky
To open the door
And drown in every droplet of rain
In the falling sky of the London night
In the cold stabbing of my skin
In the pulse of my blood

These are the wild eyes hidden behind a curtain
Ruby shadow over the altar of candles
Wild eyes shut under the veil
Underwater lanterns of the opium trail

I will take the shores
And raise them up high
Up above the walls
Between you and I
