Pure

I look into a sea of blue in your eyes

And see a full and swollen moon

Resplendent in a stormy sky

I look through your gaze

Its source is pure and uncorrupted

And see a wilderness of dunes

Untouched

Uninterrupted

Pessimis protects me

Limp hope won't let me down

Still i lust for the pure

It unties the knots and turns me around

I swear

I won't unravel this time

I banish too good to be true from my mind

I'm steeled in my resolve by this gem i never thought i'd find

The echoes of your laughter fall upon me

Like the calming rain

They intimate a surreal world

Smooth surfaced and free of stain

Pessimis protects me

Limp hope won't let me down

Still i lust for the pure

It unties the knots and turns me around

I swear

I won't unravel this time

Your gaze's source is uncorrupted

Pure

Dunes untouched

Uninterrupted

Pure

I'm steeled in my resolve by this gem i never thought i'd find

Echoes of your laughter falling down on me

Like the calming rain

Pessimis protects me

Limp hope won't let me down

Still i lust for the pure

It unties the knots and turns me around

I swear

I won't unravel this time
