my sweet illusion, never give away the mirage
swamp light figures fade, the brass hue in the parkade changed
cast shadows all my life

meet me on a knife edge, walking back despondence
married my pain, at first glance
you're the cold flame in my clasped hand
meet me on a knife edge, practicing discernment
carried the weight of happenstance
impasse, impact

passage and plaza, penumbra strays
when we collapse there's clarity, baby don't give me away
i'm tormented by the borders of our minds

meet me on a knife edge, walking back despondence
married my pain, at first glance
you're the cold flame in my clasped hand
meet me on a knife edge, practicing discernment
carried the weight of happenstance
impasse, impact

come and go
