lyrics

Passionate Crime

I lost my grip on my lantern
Hope you find me where I'm standing
I'm not alone but I'm still in the dark
I used to watch you from the rafters
You filled my head and heart with laughter
You were everything I was after

Before I was left here
Just waiting until it's my time
I can't find the door baby but I still hear the chime
I'm blinded by some kind of passionate crime

I stowed away in the cargo
Just to see how far I'd go
To follow you with a view from above
Now it raises the question
Was the flight of my obsession
All I got for not confessing my love

Before it fell like a hard rain
From the height of the climb
And flooded my sight babe with all things sublime
I'll blame it on the same passionate crime

now I used to wager
had a love for the stage where
she danced to the tunes of my heart
but my senses they were loaded
and the whole score exploded
and the notes slipped right off the chart

Now the versus are cursed
And the couplets don't rhyme
Leaves my guess as good as yours anytime
To serve out a sentence for a passionate crime

They still rattle their sabers for no reason why
And battle their neighbors for a piece of her pie
Then make out like Martyrs as the Warriors cry
That it's getting harder to see past the lie
It’s getting harder to see past the LIE
To see past the LIE

I still hear the chime
I still hear the Chimes
