F# G F# E (repeat)
Tell me who doesn't love

What can never come back

You can never forget how it used to feel

The illusion is deep

Its as deep as the night

I can tell by your tears you remember it all


G G A A F# G F# G


I am paralysed by the blood of Christ

Though it clouds my eyes

I can never stop

How it feels to be dry

Walking bare in the sun

Every mirage I see is a mirage of you

As I cool in the twilight

Taste the salt on my skin

I recall all the tears

All the broken words

I am paralysed by the blood of Christ

Though it clouds my eyes

I can never stop

When the sunsets glow drifts away from you

You'll no longer know

If any of this was really true at all
