You stare at me with those eyes
And you care how it is that beauty dies
In the air its breaking record cold
And we've sold our soul and after glow
For a dream of tangerine blossoming
In the bosom of a magazine
With all this concrete and constant shuffling feet
We pay no mind to the others in the street
It's obscene how are minds burn like gasoline
To fill the time between each daydream
You might as well taste it
Go out and embrace it
Or maybe not
Not at all
Reconstruct the lines now that we have the time
Time is rich and full of certain bliss
From each kiss we give and take at night
I will write my instructions in blood
While we await the flood

A Melancholia Falling Thru
I wrapped you in a warm blanket
Took you from the hell outside
Your heart keeps breaking
And your mind keeps taking you for a ride
Taking on the angels
Hell you even do their job
You weren't meant for this earth
You weren't meant for this birth
Girl you've been robbed
The devil up and finds you
Tears you to pieces inside
You've fought this baby
Going to whip that lady
Time after time
Now I sit and hold you
Clasping to your body from behind
Longing to be awoken
Taken from this nightmare you call life
They see you but don't read you
Certain type of bliss was a gentle faded kiss
Your memory is dry

I'm sitting home alone staring out the window
A train thunders by sending shivers down the tracks
The swells of energy, the breath of city
Is breaking our tides and sending shivers down my back
I am curious to know about the life we've taken on
Maybe its a life not taken on by all
With a tick, tock time clock, fire and love is all we got
Burning hearts were never designed to fall
I look to you. That look I do remember.
Better than me and all that I've known.
Wrapped up by my side through the cold of December
Till the flowers bloom and new light hits our home
Now we look to the sky with alarm and wonder
Trying to find our true mind's eye
A sudden grand parade marches down the avenue
Blazing with colors they dance for us all
It was a beautiful day
With the light in our eyes
It was a beautiful day
With madness in the sky
