Flashes

VERSE ONE:

Last night i found her hiding in my sheets
I felt alive while I was dying in my sleep
We're dead enough to smile when we weep
Pretending we don't see the skeletons and spiders in our teeth
And I still hear the nemesis inside me when I speak
And I still lack the effort left for guidance when I'm weak
Don't sink
Cause we were never wired for defeat
Fire underneath the skin with bloody diamonds in the street
Walk softly
And move fourth little pseudomorph
A forfeited human corpse
An orphan and too deformed to forget the uniform of torture that you adorned and you perform in like it never tormented you before
So are you undecided yet?
Still a caterpillar hiding from the butterfly effects?
Is their ugliness still ugly when its covered by the flesh and will you ever see the colors that the other side reflects?
I don't know
It's just a picture that the past takes
Fixtures of magnificence in figments when the glass breaks
Ignorance forgiven how we slither in our ashtrays
Sifting our forbiddens as we listen to the catch phrase
In every suicidal thought I've earned
I gave my world to them just so I could watch mine burn
So speak to me
I'll pretend I never lost my words
I'd go with you but I know that it's just not my turn
In every suicidal thought I've earned
I gave my world to them just so I could watch mine burn
So speak to me
I'll pretend I never lost my words
I'd go with you but I know that it's just not my turn...

CHORUS:

This is our life just flashes for my eyes
Easy to give up when it's crashing down but wait
Flashes can be light
Just wait
Flashes of you and I
This is our life just flashes for my eyes
Easy to give up when it's crashing down but wait
Flashes can be light
Just wait
Flashes of you and I...

VERSE TWO:

Slow rain the way their plots build
It's the virus hidden underneath my eyelids in my thoughts still
There's cocaine up in the nostrils
We'll taste the blood like it was painted on our fangs as the drops spilled
Set decline without a step to climb
I suffocated all my fears with every breath of mine I left behind
They'll feed us life and keep our deaths defied until there's nothing left but time to carry weight we bared on our decrepit spines and weathered floors
So tell me more about your cellar doors and how you know where heaven is but never been to hell before
Sell me faith
I'll make believe I never felt it more
I'll give you all my hate so you can breathe it in and welcome yours
So devoted
They bleed but no one noticed
They're all prisoners to greed but I'm still free to float below it when I sink
I know you think this killing spree is so heroic but the justice only waits for villainry to overthrow it
And so I hang along the day diminished
Knowing that the sun was only waiting on the rain to finish
And when it does we'll be complacent in or space of privilege
Trying to save that faded-image faith the world erased within us
In every suicidal though we've earned
We gave our world to them just so we could watch ours burn
So speak to us
We'll pretend we never lost our words
We'd go with you but we know that it's just not our turn....

CHORUS:

This is our life just flashes for my eyes
Easy to give up when it's crashing down but wait
Flashes can be light
Just wait
Flashes of you and I
This is our life just flashes for my eyes
Easy to give up when it's crashing down but wait
Flashes can be light
Just wait
Flashes of you and I...
