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
