Seeing in Blue

Every night I'd go on out
Was this the day I'd been dreaming about?
Long legs shining bright on end
Now just another one here to pretend
Lipstick set and I’m seeing in blue
What would happen if I went up to you?
Fire lights and we dance all aflame
Poison so strong but can he withstand the game?
Hey, listen to me
Hey, listen to me
She's lonely
She's lovely
She's beautifully …
She's ornery
So lovely
She's brilliantly
Every night and it's just the same
Invisible rope to hang from where we all came
Fire made flesh leave a trail in the air
She'll eat you right up without a fuckin real care
Masks on the wall pick the right one out
Happy horror here with an eternal pout
Up down left right real or fake
You never do know just what the fuck she can take
Hey, listen to me
Hey, no one is free
Hey, listen to me
She's lonely
She's lovely
She's beautifully …
She's angry
So lonely
She's lovely
She's ornery
So lovely
She's brilliantly
Hey, listen to me
Hey, no one is free
Hey, listen to me

The only thing I could do
Helped not much
To keep my mind from you
Words I don't know why
Who was that stranger
Rivers running by
Have cause to complain
My body's breakin
Wastin away it's hello why
He's comin round again
Wastin away it's hello bye
Well things end and they begin
That's just the way it is
Wastin away it's hello why
He's coming around again
Wasting away it's hello bye
Well things end and they begin
That's just the way he is
Memory from last night
Haunting myself
Wanted to die
There was nothing else
There's fever now
Panting so hard
Where did you end up
With her so far
(Broken bright Star)
Wastin away it's hello why
He's comin round again
Wastin away it's hello bye
Well things end and they begin
That's just the way it is
Wastin away it's hello why
He's coming around again
Wasting away it's hello bye
Well things end and they begin
That's just the way he is
So the story goes
I let you steal me
Reflection's gone
Words define me
(Slip right by me now)
Wastin away it's hello why
He's comin around again
Wastin away it's hello bye
Well things end and they begin
That's just the way it is
Wastin away it's hello why
He's coming around again
Wasting away the story is mine
Will things end?
Never began …
That's just the way it is.
That's just the way it is

These were times I knew
That I’d never sell
These were times with you
Getting to know you well
Pulling mind over matter
But my mind don’t know where
I wanna live fully
What the F do I care
Walkin in your path I hear the ravens going up right for a climb
Better look away you can’t handle the wicked mauling not this time
No not this time
(Never was us)
I was walking pick my head up off the floor
(Never was us)
I was dreaming like I never did before
(Never was us)
Deconstruction of delusions of the start
Falling fast asleep in the bridge of dawn
Waking myself up with another damn song
Sinking so slowly into that summer chair
The darkness gets deeper but we can’t break our stare
Walkin in your path I hear the ravens going up right for a climb
Better look away you can’t handle the wicked mauling not this time
No not this time
(Never was us)
I was walking pick my head up off the floor
(Never was us)
I was dreaming like I never did before
(Never was us)
A construction of delusions of the start
(Never was us)
(Never was us)
Things were turning faster than I ever saw
(Never was us)
It was mine I was patient after all
(Never was us)
All the time it burned a pattern in our sight
(Never was us)
I wanted to loathe her but she smiled at me
Content in her carriage with her trust flowing freely
I woke up in terror and said Where did it go?
Was I kicking was I swimming trapped under all you know
Walkin in your paths I hear the ravens going up right for a climb
Better look away you can’t handle the wicked mauling not this time
No not this time
(Never was us)
We tried our best there’s nothing else that we can do
(Never was us)
I’d lose my mind just sitting right here through and through
(Never was us)
Do they rise up in the center of the night
(Never was us)
If there’s a way I’d kill it crush that burning in my mind
In my mind
You were my kind
In my mind
In my mind
So hard to find
In my mind
(Forget you, regret you)
In my mind
(forget you, won't let you)
In my mind
(forget you, regret you)
In my mind
(forget you, won't let you)

Rise

Here, here in my bedroom
Watching shadow playground
Off to the sun she goes
Again
You, you never knew just what you wanted
So you gave up before it started
Was just much easier to fall, that way
If they, only saw just what I'm feeling
Took that moon inside for one day
Would they ever be the same, again?
Meteoric rise, open up your eyes
And see me here, the blood inside and the valley to fear
Meteoric rise, meteoric disguise
She called out with those eyes, not a surprise, not a surprise
I, I sometimes think I might have known you
That you may somehow have known me too
But then I'm off to die again
The water is rising slowly in the basement
You lock the door and push the bar in
It doesn’t keep the water out, no not this time.
Meteoric rise, open up your eyes
And see me here, the blood inside and the valley to fear
Meteoric rise, meteoric disguise
She called out with those eyes, not a surprise, not a surprise
I was further, away, then I thought I'd ever be
Further, away, didn't you see?
(Didn't you see me fallin?)
Further, away, then I thought I'd ever be
I was further, away, didn't you see?
(Didn't you see me fall down?)
Meteoric rise, open up your eyes
And see me here, the blood inside and the valley to fear
Meteoric rise, meteoric disguise
She called out with those eyes, not a surprise, not a surprise
Meteoric rise
Rise
Meteoric disguise
Rise
Meteoric rise
Rise
Open up your eyes
Rise
