lyrics

The Difference Between Confession And Profession - If I could not breathe the delicate air as it flows across your lips; if I never knew that ambrosial scent, could I ever breathe at all? Behind my smile, I know as I hold your hand I hold the flame to the wick. This isn't a sin, this is deliverance, as we stand in the shadow of our only anathema. We defy what sustains us, our senex betrays us and our marriage of Heaven and Hell. So I'll try not to love you this time. If I could not see your luminous smile, the fractured glint blinding my thought; if I never met that celestial stare, could I ever see at all? It seems our only chance at forever could be the end of time. This isn't a sin, this is free will, as we burn the leaves of the awakening bloom. Life may have started with Adam and Eve, but God knows it will end with us. So I'll try not to love you this time. I blame God, the reason for what I've become. There's something wrong with me - it's you. If I never felt your velvet skin as I held my hand to your cheek; if I was not made to be with you, could I ever love at all? This isn't a sin, this is escape, as we are cast away from the innocence of paradise. This fate that begins with original sin will forever damn the forsaken. This isn't a sin (this isn't a fall), it's the world in our palm (the illuminate cure), embracing the darkness, the eternally cascading unknown. (we're free) The spark that is lit when I kiss your lips will forever scorch the earth. So I'll try I'll try I don't care if I try not to love you this time.
