while we were sleeping soundly
upon this bed of lies
the world around us crumbled down
beneath our stricken eyes
a world of solemn beauty
a crossing of the line
that brings us into solitude
and draws us out of time
to eden, to that quiet place
where at one time all was well
when we knew we were beautiful
that place before we fell
but lovers often find in time
the path is bittersweet
and the road that leads to happiness
is off of lover's leap
in partaking of this mortal sin
and seeking after bliss
we realize the devil's price
is a long and weighty list
and yet we saunter onward
increasing all our debt
knowing time will kill us both
if it hasnt found us yet
