In the violent silence   Of a dream within a dream   You fill my soul with beauty   You're my shiny man machine   I'm sinking in the roses   Falling down to fade away   The velvet blade of apathy   Makes the crush so bittersweet      (CHORUS)   And I, I could have died last night   But I heard the voice of a smaller god   And I, I could have died last night   But I heard the voice of a smaller god      Your presence is the morning   Your absence is the night   I'm searching your dark hallways   Trying to find the light   Swimming your sad ocean   I'm drowning in your sea   This will all be over soon   And we'll learn to live again      (CHORUS)   And I, I could have died last night   But I heard the voice of a smaller god   And I, I could have died last night   But I heard the voice of a smaller god      In the evening stars I see your eyes   I hear you speak to me   I miss you now so much it aches   So broken so afraid      (CHORUS)   And I, I could have died last night   But I heard the voice of a smaller god   And I, I could have died last night   But I heard the voice of a smaller god
