Scene 23 - What Did You Wish For? Lyrics

Rest your head between where my eyes drop.
Feel your lungs fill against my chest
The amber light from the iris beams through
The bright burning blushes, the torches of the tomb
Twinkle to the words I whisper to you.

There was reason and nonsense, your touch that night
I was too love-drunk or love-sick to recognise.
And without hesitation, I held on hard
For I needed your love to empathise.

You hadn't said yet, I had nothing to live for
But I could have sworn, I lost all I could fend for.

Brewed, troubled friction cascaded inside
From noble little gestures in a Shakespearean
Line
You ran your nimble fingers, 'round my back tattoo
A past that I loved but didn't cling to.

The archaeologists had finished their work
And dated the bones back to 1231.
A stab wound suffered, the dagger lay close
Just one day after he blew the candles out.

You froze with exhaustion and muttered five words
Clenched your fists when I asked, What did you wish for?

You lost your mind in a Roman chapel hall
To the longest and most charming love letters
Of all
In one swift motion, you grabbed my hand
And forced yourself away from a kiss and wished me dead
