Harmony Lyrics

Scarlet ruby become my heart

And beat like an animal encased in stone

My one falling star wish is to be warm

To turn this puppet body into something real

Wooden joints entwined by wires

And bags of air so I can breathe

With hair of sawdust and eyes of glass

I run in perfect harmony

A subtle glance, a longing gaze

Embrace within our love for days

A ring of crystals and cherry gold

From someone I can hold

But all these splinters harm those I adore

Release me from this wooden corpse

I want to be much more

A ballet dancer of swanborne feathers

An opera singer drowning in harmony

Or a mother of nature tormented by howling

As she discovers her love is a dream

I dream of an evening draped in silk

Where I wear a dress fashioned with opal stones

And the entire ballroom falls silent for me

As I twirl around in a bolero of stars

Then I wake to the beating of my ruby heart

A scabby dress of spider webs and sooty old buttons

Strings, release me

Make me into flesh

In exchange I'll give my heart to live

With eyes that see the truth
