Lyrics
I had to tell 'em
Get out
You bold colours
You vile vipers
Your brightness blinds
The tightness climbs from my abdomen
Up to my throat but then it sinks back again
Now we're rarely remote
But apparently we're separate
That's why we're standing apart
I got my hand on my heart
And I'm watching sand turn to glass
I'm looking through time
Looking past time
'Cause me, I ask time questions
But the answers evade me
That's why I'm evoking the storms that named me
Stroking the thorns
That made me red thumbed
Well now the petals have fallen
My head's numbed by the onslaughts of autumn
'Cause me, I think things
And then I wish I'd never thought 'em
But I know that's hardly important
'Cause your fire melts my fabric
And I felt your magic at night
And I was led back to the light
With my feet tied
Dragged, hesitant
See I mistook reputation for relevance
And I mistook education for elegance
But now, but now I see it
Everything is sediment
Everything stacked belly to back
Like commuters on trains with computers for brains
They get their money, pay their rent
They buy their food with the change
But me, I booze 'til the days become bruised
But remain always true to my name
I'm turning gravel to grain
As I unravel that stragglers chain
See I walk through the rain
With my heart full of flame
Trying to make peace with my pain
But we don't invite the signs
Can't choose the words they speak to us
We're stressed out, look inside
I'm bound like Prometheus
Oracle within
Breathes out when I breathe in
But the horror of the things I keep out, they seep in
Don't invite the signs
Can't choose the words they speak to us
We're stressed out, look inside
I'm unbound like Prometheus
Oracle within
Breathes out when I breathe in
But the horror of the things I keep out, they seep in
I drag it all out over hot coals
I rake up the restless soul
I don't hold what can't be controlled
But do the rest even know?
How we sit in cold silence
Staring at ourselves
With violence in our glare
Can you bear to discover
Your heart with no cover
When it speaks straight
And it speaks true
I creep through the foggy stale air
Of a bedroom at dusk
I'm seeking out someone or something I can trust
I don't know, I slouch low
Grip a drink in hand
Lament, building my sanctuary on sinking sand
It ain't right, but what's morals?
What's worth? What's worse?
Hatred I fill or the thirst I can't quench?
Look, I drink deep
Sink into pink sleep
Dream a dream, live a lie
I watch my life drifting by from a distance
Talking to myself but never listening
Despise the position I've been given
Though it all, I'm crippled by the picture
I stare, lying down, oh
Pen ink leaks on another pair of jeans
Facing myself in the shadows
I scream out the misery
I hear only the rain hitting the pavement
It's the damp, dark basement of a squalor-filled romance
I smell the death on my fingertips
Clutch tighter literature
Because my best friends are dead men
I never met 'em when they lived
I only know 'em through script
I read avidly
Thinking on a time where greed damaged me
Thinking on how the weed savaged the
Capacities of my mind to elucidate
I'm wracked by this guilt
My middle name should be shame
I walk through this rain
With a heart full of flame
Wracked by this guilt
My middle name should be shame
I walk through this rain
My hot heart full of flames
Oh, I'm trying to make peace with this pain
But look, we don't invite the signs, though
We can't choose the words they speak to us
So next time you're stressed
You need to look inside
And let yourself be unbound like Prometheus
'Cause that oracle within
It breathes out when we breathe in
Although I know, first hand, full well
The horror of the things we keep out will seep in
We don't invite the signs
Can't choose the words they speak to us
We're stressed out, look inside
I'm unbound like Prometheus
Oracle within
Breathes out when I breathe in
But the horror of the things I keep out, they seep in
Don't invite the signs
Can't choose the words they speak to us
We're stressed out, look inside
You'll be unbound like Prometheus
Oracle within
Breathes out when I breathe in
But the horror of the things I keep out, they seep in
They seep in
They seep in, they seep in
They seep in, they seep in
They seep in, they seep in
The horror, the horror, the horror, the horror
Horror of the things I keep out, they seep in
Horror of the things I keep out, they seep in
Horror of the things I keep out, they seep in
The horror, the horror, the horror, the horror, the horror
Don't invite the signs
Can't choose the words they speak to us
We're stressed out, look inside
I'm bound like Prometheus
Oracle within
Breathes out when I breathe in
While the horror of the things seeping out, they keep in
Don't invite the signs
Can't choose the words they speak to us
We're stressed out, look inside
We're unbound like Prometheus
Oracle within
Breathes out when I breathe in
But the horror of the things I keep out, they seep in
They seep in
They seep in, they seep in
They seep in, they seep in
