Lyrics

Venus Hour

Beauty of the hour
Help me to discover
No glass in the mirror
I'm slowly disappearing

Fill in the lines
Cover the gaps
Give me all the toys that the other girls have
Even if its sordid
Even if it hurts
Move into the edges put your fingers in the dirt

(Oh)

No tears on my pillow
No heroes left to follow
All voices indecision
Subtraction or addition?

I'll be the last, I'll be the first
To raise from the waves
Like Venus in the surf

(Oh)

I don't care what you wanted (Don't change your mind)
Just finish what you started (Build it on time)
The flowers that you planted (Nature decides)
Are wilting in the garden (I think I'm dying)

Nobody knows where the passion begins
I want the real thing in the palm of my hand
To send me to the stars with a radio blast
Bigger than the future, better than the past

(Oh)
