lyrics

Mistaking passion for angst, never could turn on the brakes
but why would I want to why would I want to now?
In the angst-less easylove isn't so breezy now

You don't know me, I don't know you, but I know you so well
and the separation only makes the passion swell
into unbelievable heights evermore, much more than the nights could tell!
I never thought it could fit this well with no pressure,
no pretending to be something that passes the time in-between.
Well that's you a me…

Wandering In the woods. Finding the words
That make us feel understood.
Dust and Ash.

Dust and Ash, Ash and Dust
All we are and what was
all because we were on the eve
of returningto the garden of eden
and finally find our reason
and excuses for breathing
suffocate the snake
and dance to every beat that we could make!

All I want is everything is that too much to ask
of the Gods or anything or anyone…
Everything that would make you happy
everything that fill my smile
Everything that I've never found sadly
everything that we would deserve in our life.
Cry Love! Take my ribs, your pillow
Love is the dust in our eyes
Ash is past that was our present unwrapped

Half and half, whole and whole
make one, make two twice as strong!
