Pantomime

Incubus · The Essential [2012]

In my fantasy, I'm a Pantomime

I'll just move my hands and everyone sees what I mean

Words are too messy, and it's way past time

To end in my mouth paint my face white and tried

To reinvent the sea, one wave a time

Speak without my voice and see the world by candlelight



I ain't afraid to let it out

I'm not afraid to take that fall

But I have found beyond all doubt

You say more by saying nothing at all



In my fantasy, no such thing as time

Minutes bleed into days avant garde and show

Me your heresies, and I'll show you mine

We only speak in Pantomimes on this carpet ride



I ain't afraid to let it out

I'm not afraid to take that fall

But I found beyond all doubt

You say more by saying nothing at all



In my fantasy, you look good entwined

In my hair and skin and spit and sweat and spilled red wine

You're my deep secret

I'm your Pantomime

I'll just move my hands I'll promise you'll see what I mean
