Anima / Animus (Comet Tails / Bloom / Flame of Surrender / Anima Reprise) Lyrics

When we finally come to terms with the hole in the sky

How will it change us? How will it redefine

What we knew, or who we were, or who we are or

Wanted to be

Is there no escape from this feeling?

If sleep won't come, and the nights feel ever long

Well, I'll just lay awake

Not much more can my heart take

If the stars in the sky cannot find a way to converge again

If we are star-crossed, then all hope is lost

And I've got nothing good to say

When we finally say these things we've been holding in

How will it change things? How will it open up our eyes to

What we knew or who we thought we were and who we hated and

Who we never understood

Is there no running from it?

If sleep won't come, and the nights feel ever long

Well, I'll just go outside

And our true love has died

If the stars in the sky cannot find a way to converge again

Yes we are star-crossed, and all hope is lost

And I've got nothing left to say

Turned inwards to find something I didn't know I had before

Where all of my dreams survived

And not all of my hope has been lost yet

Turned inwards to find something I didn't understand before

Where all the keys are broken

And all the locks are melted shut

These sweet silent things that could only ever be understood by you and I

How can I take them and keep them safe?

How can I keep all these memories safe?

How can I keep this good thing safe?

'Cause when I'm missing you like madness

And the mist in my eyes turns to tears that come and don't fade away

Tell me what do I do?

What's left for me to believe?

When next will I see your face here in front of me again?

Take me back to it all

Take me back to the start

So we can learn to love again

Take me back to the start

Take me back to the beginning

Lord I wanna try

Take me back no matter how impossible it sounds

You know I would do anything

I beg, I beg of you

("Comet tails" "bloom" "flame of surrender")

We were just passing through

We met in the shade of the things and people that hurt us

We found in one another refuge from the hurt

But we were always just passing on through

Where were we

What have we done

What have we done to this love?

Where are we

Where are we now?

I'll hold your memories close

And I swore I would never let you

But now you're gone

Now you're gone, now you're gone

So I say take me back to it all

Say take me back to the start

Say take me back to it all

Say take me back to it all

'Cause I'm missing you like madness

I'm missing you like madness

What good am I to you?

What could I have been to you?

All these words go around in my head

How long could it have it gone

How long before you realized you'd done wrong

How long, how long, how long?

How long, how long have you waited there for me?

Blurring lines between what's real and make believe

How long, how long was the bloom of love denied?

How long, how long, how long?

Set upon the stele

The flame of surrender

From far away I could see it

I could see it cut through the fog

We knew then

It changed in the time intervening

We knew we couldn't pretend anymore

We knew

When I finally come to terms with what I've lost

How many years will I let it hold me down

'Cause I've already done so many so far

How long, how long, how long will I

How long, how long, how long will I let it

Will I ever come out of this on the other side

Without you
