White Venice - Nightward

A restless drive

On desert roads

Avoiding the perils of stormy seas

I came to you

A Saturday

That freezing December that numbed the hearts

White Venice

You'll waste away in there

White Venice

You'll waste away in there

And you were there

Shape divine

Black hair on black eyes that sparkled dark

With a dreamy air

I followed you

To places of silence that burned the hearts

White Venice

You'll waste away in there

White Venice

You'll waste away in there

It's just like the winter on my skin cold deep inside

So I'm just going to wait it out until you say

A fine word to throw it all away breaking me free

From this icy thorny spiral

The blur

It became so clear in my soul

Slow is the climb over walls

Walls made of tears and adieus

The loss

It became so clear in my soul

I crack a smile at this joke

Because this life because this life makes no sense

Godspeed

And when the light fades lead me astray

Or ghosts will come to me

I need to sail away

On seas of disarray

Was I so wrong

When I said

That goodbyes sound better when one is deaf

And all I asked

To the queen

Was to remember remember me

White Venice

You'll waste away in there

White Venice

You'll waste away in there

It's just like the winter on my skin cold deep inside

So I'm just going to wait it out until you say

A fine word to throw it all away breaking me free

From this icy thorny spiral

The blur

It became so clear in my soul

Slow is the climb over walls

Walls made of tears and adieus

The loss

It became so clear in my soul

I crack a smile at this joke

Because this life because this life makes no sense
