I Never Met Another Gemini

Slowly we peel away the layers
And the light seeps through the cracks
You whispered softly in my ear
The birth of morning's upon us, dear
The bandages fell upon the floor

And there was no one in that room
And there was no one in that room
And it's quiet down the hallway
Where the doctors wash their hands

Behind my eyes, I feel the hollow jabs of your morphine kiss
Your anesthetic name is autographed upon my bones
This reception died in vein

This reception died in vain
In vain, this reception in vein
This reception died in vain
This reception in vein (This reception died in vain)

A tarnished angel leaves her ghost on the surface
A jealous daughter starves to death for the mother

As I awaited your return
As I awaited your return

I wait for your return

It seems the only way that I will ever feel alive
Throw myself into my injuries and close my eyes
I'd give anything to feel alive
And I will wait for you tonight
And I will wait for you tonight
I will (I will) wait for you tonight
I will wait for you tonight

The scalpel carves a map for you
A map for you
A map for you
A map for you, this reception died in vein
Died in vain
Died in vein
Died in vain, this reception died in vein

This reception died

And I will wait for you
And I will wait for you
And I will wait for you
And I will wait for you
