Of Ceilings
Lyrics
Sleeping under a skylight
Waking up to a cold fright
Seeing you hanging down
Only for me
And knowing that my love can't break the string
From you to the ceiling
Watching you turning slowly
Dancing softly upon me
My frozen skin is a ballroom
Only for you
And I can't force my trembling arms to bring
You down from the ceiling
But if you could feel me shaking
If you could hear me breaking
If you could see me fall
To pieces before you
You'd know I'd never ignore you
No never, no never again
Never again
Rain drips in from the skylight
The moon looks over a strange sight
The silhouettes of the marionettes
You and me
With stiffened stance we share this dance and swing
It out from the ceiling

As of yet, I have not recorded this song, although I have performed it solo with acoustic guitar. When I do get something on tape, I will post it here.
