lyrics

within this dark I heard you
after having been
such warm tears
where there were louder hours
held in your eyes
that every memory could not appear
i heard you say
shudder in your unknown body
complete darkness without the Earth
without the most possible witness waiting through this sleep
i heard you say
spoken speeches
where there the vastness showed itself
and piled in the invisible world
like a secret orbit
a volume of aluminum dreaming
suspended from a string of slumbers
i heard you say
without any air
i heard you say
the sound of this enormous speech
from deep within this body
deep within these dreams
there were the shapes
these strange arrangements of weightless shapes
from deep with these fingers
deep within these dreams
I heard you say
without any air

and darling
if there's anything i'd like to tell you
and listen very closely my love
all these dreams
and these desires
well, darling they're all for you
without any air
i'm strangling

this lullaby will have to be our goodbye
i hope you'll understand

you'll always be my dream
