Your beauty pulses like a distant star   Once you were so near to me and now you've gone so far   Wretched and asphyxed the word is in his stone   (Rigid and as fixed, the words, as any stone?)   Lying now - no move, nor speak no statue here alone   (Lying now, don't move or speak ... alone?)   Living here just with a memory   A simple recollection that's so dear to me   You said it's logical that we should part   What's pleasing to my intellect, must surely break my heart      Man will always want what he can't have   It's more than he can do just to be brave   He seeks perfection in a thousand ways   Just throw another shovel on his grave      Born to live   Born to die   Born to wonder   Why, why, why, why      If you there   Would you leave me wondering   If you there   I am one man under (I am one man only?)   If you there   Don't leave me wondering   If you there      You say that all we have is what we see   Baby, all you understand is a little part of me   You said that I could never be the one   Promises evaporate in the angle of the sun   If the only certain thing is death   Walk a little nearer to it now with every breath   And if this time must wear a velvet glove   Then kindness and lies are the true friends of love
