The Revival
Enlighten your moves with grace
Thread them together with ambition
Anticipate the desire to be loved
Throughout life's entirety, assuming is awaiting
That this world operates to your soles
Wait for your turn, actuate with a remark
To the other side, the one who neglected you
The other side, disregarding every word you spoke
Now bend these words to the rest, in my power I will alter my being
With my ability, I will change everything
Your Flooded Eyes
Your flooded eyes filled with despair and despise
as you look at yourself in the mirror (just like you)
Your golden flaws shown by mistakes in my ways
that you see even clearer than this
Desolate, desperate life you've grown is getting old
(Twisted tight, tangled and turned around)
Discouragement and emotion brought to you is showing through
(Twisted tight, tangled and turned around)
My sudden moves seem to confuse the confused
Which means me as I look through the mirror (just like you)
My open arms closed by myself and my ways
His eyes see even clearer than mine
We have ourselves in knots
For one to undo it's both you and me too
Your flooded eyes, my sudden moves
Madison
Chad claims he can turn water into wine
comical kills, I can't withstand this
Madison says Cinderella's closet's all mine
She stretched the truth, she didn't receive the kiss
But every time he moves in for the kill
He gets sent for water, up on the hill
So please stop pretending this isn't what you want
You know they're having a good time
When you raise your fist, he'll raise his thumb
So stop, stop the hostility
There's no need to shun
One day madison was sitting on a wall
Chad tickled her in hopes to win it all
She ended up falling, connecting pavement with her head
Quit playing the big bad wolf she said
The concussion made her as blind as the mice
He should have taken Gepetto's advice
Madison, Madison, fly away home
This Painted Veil
Our backs are turned to the open sky
As it goes in to starry night
This painted veil is glowing, glowing
as our bodies are flowing, flowing
Faster and closer together (together)
Softer and smoother with one another
We make small brush strokes to form your face
and my fingertips gently touching it
We paint our eyes wide and awake
and they look closer to the other that i can see through you
A torch bleeds to us to make one
as our bodies do, we begin to stop
This painted veil is drying, drying
as our bodies are trying, trying
A torch bleeds to us to make one
as our bodies do, we begin to stop
This painted veil is drying, drying
as our bodies are trying to move
Story
Looking through a path of overgrown, untrimmed grass
weeping over mossed crumbling walkway stones
The air so quiet my heart overwhelming
The creaks of weathered wood from each footstep
leaving footprints in the dust
and the only light is from cracks left in the planks
covering the windows, breathing becomes hard
Every breath filled with the dirt in the air
I can spot in the beams of light
It makes me think
"Who must have lived here? What did they do? What did they look like?"
So I take slow steps, unknowing what lies ahead
Hearing a faint voice "Hello? Anyone there?"
It starts, curiosity drives me closer
as I walk along realize I seem to be following a path
of dimly candle lit hallways
I turn to see a family of four stretching out one hand
Empty walls with gaping spaces of where there once were pictures hanging
in the maze of hallways
Stretched across this mansion, "What was that sound? Anyone there?"
Empty walls with gaping spaces
Pictures hanging in the maze of hallways
Stretched across this mansion
("What was that sound? Anyone there?")
Curiosity drives me closer
"What was that sound? Anyone there?"
I turn to see a family of four stretching out one hand each
No faces, no more slow steps
Running terrified i turn the corner...
I don't know why I came here, how I'll get out is a mystery, a mystery to me
I don't know why I came here, will I get out alive?
Flowers From Me
Dear, there are flowers on your bed again
Some white and blue, the rose is red
She blushes and runs upstairs
to start crying instead
Flowers sent for me from me, floating
pedal by pedal off the classic bouquet to the floor
The tape and wire is rusted now because i've kept them all
A man comes to the door, a mother yells down the hall
She skips quite quickly and there she is
He was just supposed to only deliver them
Instead he gave them to her as a present of her beauty
and she was happy for once
Flowers sent for me from me, floating
pedal by pedal off the classic bouquet to the floor
The tape and wire is rusted now because i've kept them all
As she lays alone in her room, the new ones blossom and bloom
The wind blows right through filling the air with fumes
The scent of despair for you
Flowers sent for me from me, floating
pedal by pedal off the classic bouquet to the floor
The tape and wire is rusted now because i've kept them all
Not knowing what kind of person he was, she fell in deep
And let's say she couldn't up
Let's say she was cut up
Let's say he didn't give a fuck
A news broadcast is airing about a girl whose veins spilt on the floor
And we're just shy of a tragic ending
But trust me, there's no happy ending
