Rendered Senseless

Be that woman
always standing so desolate on the cornerstone
be that moment
the one before I found out what it means to be alone
crack open the safes of me
take what you want, leave a little pathetic life for me

Rendered senseless by your smile
dragged underneath spiral stars some thousand miles
down the winding river from where I was born
born to adore you, it's more than you
baby, what's next to the moon?

Be that sparkle
that spins around my eyes when I'm weeping
beat that minute
that it takes for this blood to keep me breathing
sift through debris of me
find out what it takes to set me like a diamond dream

Rendered senseless by your heart
left dangling upon the strings of my broken guitar
through a mighty, biting wind I'll get to you
it's you I adore, I want more and more
baby, what's love got in store?

An imitation conflagration
'cause what is the sun next to you?
and I command the gravitation
consult my maps and charts
and align with this magnet heart
only you can render me senseless with your angelic temptation, and...

Could you be that woman
the one that drifts through my darkest dreaming
and in one second
the one before I found out true love and it's meaning
I felt so tired and so lost
but I'll take what I want, and leave behind this broken ol' carcass
'cause all this time has turned to dust
and I want to find a bluer sky to save my wings from rusting

I'm rendered senseless by your smile
I've been so damned but now I'll set these clothes on fire
so you'll see me long way down your ghostly road
you rode to rescue light from the deepest gloom
baby, what's next to the moon?
let it shine

Be that woman always standing so desolate on cornerstones
be that moment before I found it what it means to be
no longer alone.

I really like this... especially these lines!
