Among Shooting Stars

There was a boy There was a girl There was a night The moon, full and bright There was a howl Closer and closer There was a scream There was a bite He's always been a dreamer A man without a face The ghosts have silent footsteps Her only real achievement The license to be frail The beauty of her wisdom Is permanently veiled No music for the lonely They only know one dance The one they do alone The silence of their homes Then winter builds a fortress Around their lonely hearts And life becomes a fable A snow globe in the dark The light of the frozen moon The howl, a familiar tune The bane of an innocent dreamer Two of a kind on a moonlit night They walk among the shooting stars Six words for a hapless drifter A silver blade for the brave at heart Don't become my work of art Save me, if you cannot save me I need you to slay me Only the embrace of my true love Could ever turn me back into a man now Into the man now She finds a tiny snow globe A garland made of hay Oh ghost of silent footsteps Can you expel this bane Full moon confessions, lucid fantasy It's not a dream The hate, the fear, they can't alleviate Soon they will know But now we are together We must go And get slain together Or fall in love Save me, you only could save me Or you'll have to slay me Only an embrace of my true love Can ever change me Please say you can heal me Need you to break this spell, love Save you, I know I could save you No one has to slay you Take my embrace, please, have my true love You've already saved me Please, let me just break thee Free from your bane, your globe of snow
