Emerald Lies Lyrics

Emerald Lies lyrics

To be the prince of possession, in the gallery of contempt

Suffering your
indiscrete discretions, and you ask me to relent

As you accumulate
flirtations, with the calculated calmness of the whore

I am the
harlequin, with diamonded costume dripping shades of green

I am the
harlequin, sense strangers violate my sanctuary, prowl my dreams



Plundering your diaries, I'll steal your thoughts - innocence

Ravaging
your letters, unearth your plots - innocence



To don the robes of
torquemada, to resurrect the inquisition

And in that tortured subtle
manner inflict questions

Within questions within questions

Looking
in shades of green through shades of blue

I trust you trust in me to
mistrust you

Through the silk-cut haze to the smeared mascara

A
forty-watt sun on a courtroom drama



And the coffee stains gather
till the pale kimono

Set the wedding rings dancing on the cold
linoleum



And accusation's moths that circle around the light

Char their wings in spiral senseless, suicidal flight

Pack our world
within a suitcase, hot tears melt this icy palace

And dissolve a crystal
swallowed by the night

Looking in shades of green through shades of
blue

Looking in shades of green through shades of blue
