Friends Without Faces - Imperfect Lifetimes

I could see us from a million angles
You're so beautiful, you're like a biblical angel
The way that you've got so many eyes on you
Another imperfect lifetime
I'd waste them all to stay with you
Where we could erode the shoreline
Towards a point of view
Where we aren't screwed
The world is falling all over me
Disaster strikes, we'll wait and see
One-way trips to Ganymede
One kiss, and my mouth bleeds
I can think of the words that I need to say
But when they move to the mouth from the brain they fade
I can think of the things that I need you to hear
But when they move from my lips to your ears,
I'm overcome and fear
Some other tangential worldline
Without you here - I'd stage a coup
Against a world that wastes our
Time; to keeps us from the joys we knew
Sharp pains, light heads, and pyrosis
What could I want, more than this?
Six legs, two hearts, one animal
Six words with my mouth full
There are times where I know what to say
There are times where I don't have a brain
Do you like how I'm public domain?
Or is it just my naïveté?
Remember me as I am right now -
This bleeding heart, beating out this new sound
'Cause when I'm old, I just might come unwound
When I kill God, I'd maybe just allow
Another imperfect lifetime
For every day, I'd love anew
So won't you mind the confines
Of this, a dying mind that still needs you?
I can think of the words that I need to say
But when they move to the mouth from the brain they fade
I can think of the things that I need you to hear
But when they move from my lips to your ears,
I'm overcome with fear
