The Glass Horizon

[Intro]
[Verse]
The chapel bells begin to toll
I climb the hill to find your soul
The chamber organ starts to play
As shadows chase the light of day
The iron door is heavy now
I wipe the sweat from off my brow
[Pre-Chorus]
The fireflies weave through the floor
I don't belong here anymore
But still I reach for every door
[Chorus]
Oh, my love of the stars
Tracing lines and the scars
On the brass of the lens
Where the universe ends
I can feel your warm breath
In this kingdom of death
Just a ghost in the glass
As the long winters pass
[Post-Chorus]
Gilded longing in the air
Finding dust within your chair
Silver threads of memory
Are all that's left of you and me
[Verse]
The parchment notes are crumpled thin
I feel the chill beneath my skin
Your ink is smudged upon the chart
Like every map inside my heart
The cor anglais begins to weep
For secrets that we couldn't keep
[Pre-Chorus]
The fireflies weave through the floor
I don't belong here anymore
But still I reach for every door
[Chorus]
Oh, my love of the stars
Tracing lines and the scars
On the brass of the lens
Where the universe ends
I can feel your warm breath
In this kingdom of death
Just a ghost in the glass
As the long winters pass
[Bridge]
By the telescope we stood
Doing things we never should
Stolen kisses in the dark
Leaving such a holy mark
Venus rose above the trees
While we fell upon our knees
Now the lute begins to sigh
Underneath a hollow sky
[Verse]
The dome is cracked and letting in
The starlight on my aging skin
I touch the eyepiece, cold and grey
And wish the night would turn to day
The constellations fade from sight
Lost within the velvet night
[Chorus]
Oh, my love of the stars
Tracing lines and the scars
On the brass of the lens
Where the universe ends
I can feel your warm breath
In this kingdom of death
Just a ghost in the glass
As the long winters pass
[Post-Chorus]
Gilded longing in the air
Finding dust within your chair
Silver threads of memory
Are all that's left of you and me
All that's left of you and me
[Outro]
