Paroles de Abandoned Mansions

The pool where my soul passed though you glows blue

Still glows blue

The pool where our molten tears cooled glows true
Glows true

Glows true



The taller the ballroom, the smaller the dance

The calls of the years lost are cobwebs impaled on a dagger of chance

The folly of chance

A boarded-up dance



The room where we saw our days bloom glows blue

Still glows blue
Glows true



The taller the hallway, the smaller the fool

Who calls from the staircase still lost in the harrowing swagger of youth?

The folly of youth

A boarded-up truth



The halls where we heard our years fall still calls,

“Still walls, still walls”

The sky where we hung our wind chimes still cries,

“Still life, still life”



It's already someday, it's already soon

I'll haunt all these hallways impaled on a dagger of daylight for you

A boarded-up room

A boarded-up room

A boarded-up room

A boarded-up room
