Stuck in the jaws of life
And she's got bedroom eyes
The candle's burning cinnamon
But I don't know where she's been
And I sense something eternal about her gaze
But I feel something infernal about her ways
Cause I made a silly bet with Saturn
And now I've lost track of the patterns
That gave my life meaning
And gave nature's face a gleaning grace
I've already been in the garden, the place
Where all veils consist of a thin piece of lace
But to me, she looks like the May Queen
Wearing a mask to disguise her motives unseen
But my heart is stronger than my reign
She will always be my window pain
That I lean on whenever I feel the shame
That comes from the souls that fall
In every drop of rain

In a packed room
Full of hipsters and vampires
You know they're one and the same
So we coat our balloons with the poison
So they can't **** the source from our wet veins
And I know we might not understand each other
But in this crowded place, I'm ok
As long as I'm next to you
It doesn't matter if the night ends red or blue
Cause we both know it's just the peel of the orange
And we both know there might not be a tomorrow
So you can go on your quest
And I'll make my final request
For both of us to possess
Another friendly caress from a stranger
Nevermind the danger, the whole world's a mess
But in this crowded place, I'm ok
As long as I'm next to you
It doesn't matter if the night ends with sand or glue
Cause we both know it's just the peel of time
Our heads hold the reason, our hearts hold the rhyme

The Earth is an ornament on the universal tree
Every time I see my reflection, it shatters into pieces
A long time ago, I placed the moon in my heart
Still never expected to taste so much salt
It's all blood and water in the end
From this view, the ocean looks red
But as the world falls around me
I am astounded, I am at peace
Morning dew, take me back to you
I can't conclude with another thought of you
So I'll focus on the jaded and tainted
Is a devil with no appetite a saint?
I hear fireworks ahead with some amazing graces
And I remember the days when I used to paint my face
In the mirror...Unforgiving mirror
On a starry night, would you cut your ear off
Just to create?

He put his foot down
But I wasn't turned on
I looked him in the eye, both feet on the ground
But he stood strong
Not trying to toss him over
Like the wind
I guess I'm trying to win him over
With swimming lessons
And Hollywood wouldn't take him
But it did in its own way
Now he's off running with the bulls
But I was never the matador anyway
Still, doesn't he know
That I reach for the bottle
Cause it shows too much
And he's leaving full throttle
I guess I lied before
Never could plant my feet down
He watered me until I grew
Now he's leaving town
Jesus, erase this strange gravity
That makes me foam from the mouth
And howl like a dog
In the fog of his shadow
Doesn't he know,
I get ****** up
Because I am
****** up
But what color is showing, now
Cause orange is all I see
As I'm on my knees
But Saturn won't stop the bleedin'
It's the cause and the cure
But I'm a sore Buddha
And he thinks she's cuter
So put me out of my misery
Cause with you I felt free
And when it comes down to it
All the drugs and the ***
Didn't make me feel a thing
That was real
What's the deal
With this unspoken fear
I can't even cry
But I wanna scream all night
But I know you'll push me away
Like the other day
So please, let me be your last DJ
I'll put on a song
That'll make you hum along
And maybe you'll remember me that way
Not as the sprout that never
Became the bean
Not as the lout
Who never grew wings
Not as the south as it looks
From a vampire book
Not as the house
That fell on her stockings
It's not the sound of you walking away
It's the sound of you knocking
In my mind, all of the time
Can't stop the cling and clatter
As the rain pitter-patters on my
Window pane
You were my superman
But I was never your....
I guess I'm asking for rescue
You hold the cards
But never read my cues
And if this were a movie
We'd be hitched already
But I won't think her a *****
If with her you go steady
Just promise me
You won't creep back in my life
After I've set fire
To all of the memories
But don't you worry
I'll build a fortress around
All the love and the sounds
That pulled you close to me
Everything happens for a reason
What a sour season
But just in time for the moon to devour
Both of us in our final hours
So take me serious next time
Say goodnight, not goodbye

Yet
It's over my head but not out of my mind
Cause I know the real clock doesn't tell time
And you Judas'd me with a Jesus smile
It's never out of my head but always over my mind
Will you ever bring me up to speed?
Cause it's something I desperately need
And maybe I could understand your creed
The blood's different, but we all bleed
The same
And I know I'm to blame
I know
I know, I know nothing but the flame
So every time I light a match
I take a wild guess
You were supposed to be my guest
But you hosted a virus with your head on my chest
And I don't know the rest
I know
I know, I know, I know nothing
Yet.

There was smoke and there was fire
I awoke with colors of your desire
We made a tent, we made a pact, then you left
Oh Pisces, you were my favorite mess
I know I became your disaster
Was I on your mind when you drove that car faster?
You were the plane, and I was the hawk
In a collision of the strange, so you decided to walk away
Oh Pisces, don't you know
We are just two fish swimming in the bowl
The alphabet says it all
Take a look, then give me a call

Careful where you spread your wings
You might land where the mockingbirds sing
Under the rule of one mad king
In a grid with roots so deep, it makes Mother Nature weep
Guess you'll just have to keep flyin'
****** if you do or don't so just keep tryin'
And if you find nothing down here worthwhile
Soar up in the atmosphere, universal child

Cause no one's ever done with being wild
It's something innate like desire
So be careful but don't forget to smile
So it'll hurt a little less when the wolves come for your time of dyin'
