Divided Unity

Tourmentée

That's how we were

And now that's how we are

C'est seulement ce que c'est

But we've made it this far

*****

Gold apples and tables of wedding deceit

You can't catch these hands if the truth's your receipt

If one single sentence could have us both criminals

Then all damns to be given fell to a minimal

Lost track of time since I tried to uncover

And relight a flame that once then we discovered

Promised to keep lit in the pain of the night

But that ends snuffed out as a windswept candlelight

Je m'en fiche plus maintenant for the time that I've lost

Knowledge is my reward but my heart was the cost

I can't change the past hell can't even change the now

When my curtain comes down I'll take more than a bow

I got purple dreams but my love goes unrequited

Spill my guts over what I thought was requited

Ecoute des amis when they tell me to quit

Til' I remember who I am, I never quit

Je paierai le mien en sang if you pay yours in words

Scars that no one has seen, lines that no one has heard

I've done everything right and I'll do it again

I'll suffer the pain of being just a friend

In the shadows of messages where no one goes

Let me be the dark phantom, the one no one knows

Hidden under the opera house dolled up in flames

Pires choses arrivent toujours when Mal is your name.
