Feel him come up from the water Feel him standing there against the wall. Now his shadow fall upon you Like an animal you learn to crawl!
Did he even know you now? Did he even know?
Watch him take three steps towards you Turn your head and listen for the pain Feel his shadow crawl upon you Like an animal he make it Rain!!!!
Did he even know you now? Did he even know?
Nobody knows you now. Lost in a world of stars. No one can feel for you when, nobody here knows who you are…. You are the dark, you are the pull, the hands, the throat, the animal, you scream. You’re trying hard to see but guided only by the light within a dream.
Dark stars throw themselves upon you Animal rain down from the sky Run so fast towards the water Can you make it home before you the light?
You can leave if you want to but don’t look back I’m warning you- You won’t like the way that things have changed. Two black leaves will be my eyes, the winds will roll, the water rise- All the things that time can rearrange.
If you go. These are the things you should know. Backwards the water will flow. Eyes in skull. Bouncing ball.
You were mine. We lived in a house made of time. The prayers and the sayings would rhyme. Dream you feel. Not quite real.
In the end you were a man, you stood there on your own. Always smiling like a friend yet somehow quite alone.
You can leave if you want to but don’t look back I’m warning you- You won’t like the way that things have changed. Two black leaves will be my eyes, the winds will roll, the water rise- All the things that time can rearrange.
If you see a picture that holds you and me, A pitcher of pure family. Dark things hide. Stay inside.
But the flame. He lived in a cage with no name. The day he was born he was blamed. Bouncing ball. Animal.
In the end, he was a fire he stood there on his own. Worlds would disappear inside him Who knows where they go?
You can leave if you want to but don’t look back I’m warning you- You won’t like the way that things have changed. Two black leaves will be my eyes, the winds will roll, the water rise- All the things that time can rearrange.
Three kings lower their crowns Lift them from their heads and set them on the ground I know I let you down.
I remember you high Gold star in the sky Please try to believe me– I never wanted to lie.
Back then I lived in a cloud, my mind in a daze As I danced like an animal up on the stage And at midnight he carried me back to his home So I could chew on his body like a dog on a bone…
And now I must atone.
Three kings lower their crowns Lift them from their heads and set them on the ground I know I let you down.
I remember you proud and tall Head high on the wall Please try to believe me– I’m sorry that I didn’t call.
But the buttons on his phone were too sticky to touch And the scabs on my wrist started hurting too much Cause at night they would open me up with their tools And then lick at my body till I started to drool…
I disappointed you.
Three kings lower their crowns Lift them from their heads and set them on the ground I know I let you down.
Please accept regret for the things I can’t change For the awkward moments I cannot rearrange I know I don’t deserve your grace.
Cause the chicken they fed me I knew it wasn’t fresh Still I buried my teeth into its withering flesh And I saved up the bones to keep track of the days Till he came into my cage and just swept them away.
Then he walked like a king up the stairs to the light While I was tied by a rope to a permanent night I know I should do something, something other than freeze Cause the sock in my mouth tasted like a disease And I tried to think something, tried to think something smart But the walls would turn wavy and then crumble apart…
I know I broke your heart.
Three kings lower their crowns Lift them from their heads and set them on the ground I know I let you down.
