Perfection

As I lay on the floor Lost inside the pool of my tears I finally knew what life was for And found that all that I had feared Was nothing more than emptiness Was nothing more than lie I know that in the truth, sweet kiss, Is found a feeling that will never die My life is but to love and not be loved To drown inside the sorrow of the years To feel and not be felt, to lie untouched As I yet watch her face pass ever near Ah, I've never been loved And never will For I have known true love And know it still In my mind's eye There, the night That shrouds her face Inside my sight I've known perfection Whole, complete, Within that sky Between heartbeats So here I lie upon the floor Lost inside the contours of my mind And now I know what life is for I know, have found what I could never find Inside my soul, inside the sky Of what's within the perfect night I find my love, I find her there The one who's now my only sight A perfect grace, a perfect face A perfect love, a perfect kiss A perfect sleep will, perfect, keep What perfectly exists Within the only truth that I can find Within these real imaginings, my mind So still I lie upon the floor Still lost within my own reality So still I lie, in my heart's core And drink the dew of what I'll never see
