lyrics

My words only go so far
I've spent a lot of my time centered on rhymes that are centered about myself
All my arrogance, the beast that is, crumbles to bits for someone elegant with morbid eloquence, with whom the deeper I go the stronger we grow
Like a complicated puzzle made of shapes and wondrous colors
A discovery
You are the only thing that is cool but when I need it when my heart is on my sleeve
In the moments that I'm frozen, it's your heat that keeps me breathing
I've a tendency to feign what I'm feeling out of fear from the gods of love that I'll just muck it up
I thought I knew every shade of blue
Then came you

Run me over like a waterfall
Drown me in the coldest spring
Pull me under like a wobbegong into your jaws again
Run me over like a waterfall
Drown me in the warmest rain
Crush my body like a sandcastle under your ocean wave
Until the tide takes me away
Until the tide takes me away

Lord, I know I fucked up a time or ten
Promises break
Honest mistakes
And the dishonest actions that I cannot defend
Though at times I was certain, so certain, with the utmost conviction that what I knew was true but it was not THE truth
Pretty little picture that I stitched up with fiction
'Cause I'm a fool for other fools
Though at times I'm lacking empathy
An introverted mess it seems
Selfishly obsessed with how what I create will be received
I've a tendency to make these matters worse for me with a masochistic leniency
What the hell is wrong with me?
My absolution is in the blue
I'm consumed

Run me over like a waterfall
Drown me in the coldest spring
Pull me under like a wobbegong into your jaws again
Run me over like a waterfall
Drown me in the warmest rain
Crush my body like a sandcastle under your ocean wave
Until the tide takes me away
Until the tide takes me away

Got on me the kind of love to murder for
Never forfeit
Turn your nemeses to corpses
Fight the war together
Blood upon your sweater
It's whatever
Redder the better
They'll be dead and I'll kill to bring you pleasure
You've got irises like Armageddon
Yes and heaven's swell but some things're worth going thru Hell for
Skeletons in armor
You deserve the honor
But you're just as quick to slit my wrists and toss me into a mountain of your martyrs

So if you'll take me down
Breathing escapes me now
Filling the spaces out
Darkness, I'm fading
Lightning crack, thunder roll
Tidal crash, undertow
Find my body in the cabin below drowning in your sea of ghosts

In truth, I don't need you to consume
I'm corroded
Entombed underneath you
Dead, unused, and eroded

We fall (all and all)
We fall (one and all)
We fall (all and all)
