lyrics

Somethin'

Oh sleep! Won't you slay me?
Won't you let me be?
All I can do is weep
I'm so tired of sheep
I just want to leap up away to the sea
I no longer want to see
Blinded by your beauty
Mourning draws, you walk by
Secretly, I open my eye
Joining me at the side
Sharing kisses your lips are my guide
I'm lost in a pink wave
Memories cut like a New Wave
Mona Lisa cut in half
I'd give everything just to watch you laugh

I've spent the last 7 years kissing a tarot card
Because it was on your palm the night I played for you.
The neon burners illuminated my eyelids
And wept away the summer tears.
Summer, a time of suffering,
A time when purpose and routine are replaced by wildness,
An unbridled wildness that shows no appreciation for safety.
Sweetly calling upon the fishwomen
To drag me down to the blackened depths of the high lonesome.
Saccharine blondes open up my heart
To the delicate nature of conversation.
Eyes-within-eyes gazing strongly,
I've found a friend in a mirror.
This is my prayer to the fainthearted.
