lyrics

Why do you flicker to my eye?
Do I deserve your attention?
You stand motionless chained and bolted to a sky that doesn't rain
I will not change
My mind rained blood
That brought the flood that killed so many
I'm just a man
Not a god
My head aches from a past memory
A slain knight and a raped girl at nightfall
Why do I cry for?
I was hung
I was shot and inflamed
I've had so many lives
I've forgotten my names

Then,
It will be my time
One minute if you please
I'll give you the one reason you need to be completely released
Chant softly in my ear
I feel our demons are near
Flashwhite!
How could that be in the pale green light
I got a glimpse of your fear it was,
She was well awake,
Are you scared? Of course
Well, now on with the show
Oh my god, is that snow?
Ba dow ...
But we are all indoors and the wind blows a gale
But anything is possible
Where the sky is so pale
The Pale Sky

I smashed my watch that was in my pocket
It cost a million bucks
Oh well Fuck it!
I burned all bridges to every road that leads out
Now I must swim in the waters of doubt

A light tied upside down in a cage was tempting death

Where the fuck are my socks?!
They're in the fucking corner
Oh, I,
I couldn't see them
Oh, I,
Apologise,
I got mad for no reason

I can complain
You are pouring freezing rain
Refrain
Please explain

Felines with erect nipples perfume their pussycats
Hoping for the love of a rooster
Tell me cock "Why do you hurt me and break my heart?"
The cock answers "Pretty girls, pretty girls,
If you need love it is not through me for I am a fucker"
