In the violent silence

Of a dream within a dream

You fill my soul with beauty

You're my shiny man machine

I'm sinking in the roses

Falling down to fade away

The velvet blade of apathy

Makes the crush so bittersweet



(CHORUS)

And I, I could have died last night

But I heard the voice of a smaller god

And I, I could have died last night

But I heard the voice of a smaller god



Your absence is the morning

Your presence is the night

I'm searching your dark hallways

Trying to find the light

Swimming your sad ocean

I'm drowning in your sea

This will all be over soon

And we'll learn to live again



(CHORUS)

And I, I could have died last night

But I heard the voice of a smaller god

And I, I could have died last night

But I heard the voice of a smaller god



In the evening stars I see your eyes

I hear you speak to me

I miss you now so much it aches

So broken so afraid



(CHORUS)

And I, I could have died last night

But I heard the voice of a smaller god

And I, I could have died last night

But I heard the voice of a smaller god
