Love is a Gateway ft. Derek Sherinian Lyrics

A lifelong obsession

With me since birth

I buried it here

Down in the undergrowth

If love is a gateway

It's been closed off and shut away

Thorns overgrown on the cemetery walls

And I'm nowhere near that brave

Your love was a gateway

My eternal getaway

So many things I'll never say

I've never felt this way

(Love is a gateway)

(If love is a gateway...)

I want to be trapped inside your cage

The warmth of your embrace

I want to reverse the day and age

I thought we were safe

Out of the frying pan, into the fire

Out of the cesspool and into the mire

Out of the prison and into the pyre

Death is the denier

Oh the way you made me feel

Umbilically safe

Oh the way this makes me feel

Unspeakable rage

Tension and release

It lasted but a second in the grand scheme

The one thing that comforts me

The hellfire brought you peace

Days just seem to worsen

There's no second turn

Heaven, lower your defense

I need things to make sense again

(I need things to make sense again)

Out of the frying pan, into the fire

Out of the cesspool and into the mire

Out of the prison and into the pyre

Death becomes my driver

If this has taught me anything

The past can be a beautiful thing

If this has taught me anything

The past can be a beautiful thing

And if you're never lost in the moment

Will you remember where you've been?

If this has taught me anything

The past can be a beautiful thing

And if you're never lost in the moment

Will you remember where you've been?

(Love is a gateway)

(Love is a getaway)

(Love is a gateway)

(Love is a better way)

(Love is a gateway)

(Love is a getaway)

(Love is a gateway)

Oh, it's just a touch away
