    Lyrics
    Bliss
    Fails
    To knock
    Today.
    Bittersweet
    Dreams weaved,
    Fill the air
    With your mystique.

    You've blessed every dream tonight,
    With starlight caressing your face -
    A stone's throw sent from me to you
    Falls short of your windowpane…
    Tonight I'll kiss my empty palm
    And send this wisp to you
    Through skies between us, with hopes that
    Someone delivers this to you.

    Every morning, every night
    I feel I'm wasting precious time
    For, every moment I spend here
    Is one more you're away…
    Tonight I feel the world rotate
    And feel your breathing resonate
    Through the trees and I can see tonight
    Will have no ever after...
    So just floor the brake, it's the world's mistake
    For placing steps between us.
    Make the world slow down
    So I can dash in haste to meet you
    Make the world slow down
    Make the world slow down...

    *Spoken under vocals*
    I stare at this ceiling
    Formless... helpless...
    I'm disembodied.
    No walls exist, no ceiling
    Only the air below me
    The stars are my ceiling
    Your face makes up these stars:
    Smiling, beckoning
    Yet so far from my fingertips...

    Flailing arms and vacant hearts
    These wounds will never heal
    It's the world's mistake
    Take everything
    Everything...

    Heaven doesn't hesitate
    To twist an arm to entertain at your expense
    But I still wish:
    All I wish is one more day
    To bathe in your essence,
    To say these things I need to say,
    To pour my soul onto this palette and watch the colors separate.
    To take the somber tones, and mix in joyful ones
    To mix the pigment of your skin with mine,
    And see what color we make.
