lyrics

This is true: bliss isn't blue, whispers seep through the firs.
This is you wishest of you twisted into the world.
Play the fade in backwards ways it makes a different word…

You follow blindly with your heart full of lust,
the sky reminds you that you're one of us,
fall into our arms and know the trust.

Blackened heart into works of art that no-one will ever see,
built a castle of the past, it crashed with chastity,
slapped the silent turning of the other naive cheek.

A strange expression crafted into a bust
serves to remind me that I'm one of us…
fall into their arms and know the trust.

Start a great fire in your hearth.
Turn a blind eye to the lie.

True north lost we pay the cost with rivers of gasoline
the brightest flash of shock and awe that anyone's ever seen
unless of course you're with me and you've seen it in a dream.

You told the captain farewell to the arms,
spare time theory tattooed in your arms,
carry Mary back into the barn.

True scar that the latest blasted factory has converted,
through the black into the crass into the paradigm.
Spin the needle see no evil tell them what they want

and they'll repay you with a thought's reprise
give the living their own advice
spinning swimming in the serpentine skies.

Start a great fire in your hearth.
Turn a blind eye to the lie.
