lyrics

A brilliant purple sky
With twilight aglow
We both watch it turn to gold
You are on fire with sin
Dancing slow around the brim
When the harbor takes its toll
I’m in a meadow of sunflowers
Thinking of you
Yes, I know you are losing control
When the sun rolls around
All the life that you found
Will be sadly turned into stone

Shake, shake, shake
You won’t wake
Shake, shake, shake
No, you won’t wake

October sings for wisdom
Lanterns lit up through the night
It’s times like these I remember I’m alive
And I think I've cheated death
Yes, I laugh with every breath
Accidents happen, but I survive

Boom, boom, boom
I can’t say the same for you
Boom, boom, boom
Even I can feel you’re doomed
You’re a ticking, ticking time bomb
Just one wrong move and you’ll go off
And to you, I bid the sweetest adieu

You imagine fiber glass like wings,
While jacking off watching TV
Until a pretty word makes your mind implode
You see a spectrum of color
You shiver and you shudder
And when you’re done you’ll have another episode

You’ll die a failure without any hope
Only owning the words that you spoke
Fire on water, the harbor explodes
And you choke, and you die alone
You die alone, whoaohwoane
