Romantica - Ophelia lyrics

The walls have been blackened and the floor is a mess You have tears upon your shoulder, you wear sorrow for a dress You've stumbled upon emptiness and emptiness has stumbled upon you You have novels on your bookshelves and stories in your heart Gone are the days when you could tell them apart You're looking for Ophelia and Ophelia is looking for you You're a child of the darkness, a child of the light You are holding on to midnight and fighting for your life Reaching out for heaven, heaven is reaching out for you You think that you're a debutante, a tourist in this place That these speeches are for charlatans and these readings a waste You're looking for salvation and salvation is looking for you You tell yourself in hiding, the aesthete is your role But in all my years I've never met a girl who had more soul You're looking for your lover and your lover is looking for you You're a child of the darkness, a child of the light You are holding on to midnight and fighting for your life Reaching out for heaven, heaven is reaching out for you The walls have been blackened and the floor is a mess You have tears upon your shoulder, you wear sorrow for a dress You've stumbled upon emptiness and emptiness has stumbled upon you You tell yourself in hiding, the aesthete is your role But in all my years I've never met a girl who had more soul You're looking for your lover and your lover is looking for you
