the first time he saw her was through a telescope

a misfit cactus filled with bottled hope



he answered like a sick man getting out of bed

suspicion and thirst curiosity and dread



the blindness in control

freeze the fatal bullet

as we're falling through a hole in time



one night he came home and found the house burning

through the frozen smoke he saw the earth turning



a curtain of silence fell on deaf ears

a dream from the past was echoing through the years



the blindness in control

freeze the fatal bullet

as we're falling through a hole in time
