silver lyrics

Close your eyes, your Christ has come
The crippled boy that you once knew
The charmed enigma chosen one
With painted lips, skin ripped and torn

Come touch and feel and lick and smell
This envy that I've worn so well
Everybody wants, everybody says
Everybody begs in time

So drink me in like tainted wine
Come bite down on my sharpened cup
And taste the dreams that numb the mind
A simple word, a harmless glare

That binds me with the thinnest thread
And pins me down to pleasure's bed
Everybody wants, everybody says
Everybody begs in time

And you will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver

Morphine baby's final breath
Ever smothered to my chest
We are silver

So shy and poised with few regrets
A Judas kill, a complex thrill
A memory I won't soon forget
Been washed out clean till all runs dry

Come touch and feel and lick and smell
A hurt that only you could sell
Everybody wants, everybody says
Everybody begs in time

And you will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver

Morphine baby's final breath
Ever smothered to my breast
We are silver

Trip, sister I will follow you
This time knowing I will follow you
Everybody wants, everybody says
Everybody begs in time

And you will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver

Morphine baby's final breath
Ever smothered to your breast
We are silver

Silver
