I’m thinking of all the things you were

I’m thinking of the sights you are

I feel it in my whole being

I see it in your soul still

 

I really think I’ll be alone

I really do fear I’ll always be alone

I feel it all around me

I see it everywhere I go

 

And oh to hold you again

Nothing but silence

You smashed everything beautiful with your soul

And all the churches here below

 

 

The artifice of love

burns through my poor heart

I am nailed to a cross

 

Oh, do you have a soul?

‘Cos why are you so cold?

 

The artifice of love

All our memories

I’m in therapy for this

 

 

Where does your beauty lie?

For you do make me to cry

 

The artifice

It could have only all been

a lie
