Silver Platters

Open up a bottle
Take a sip and swallow
Thinking about god and all the dreams you didn't follow
Now you're dressing formal
I've seen this before
As you try to mitigate your fear of being normal
Just step through the portal
No need to be cordial
You could be immortal
If you take the risk
Could you take the risk?

Living through your doses
Oh my holy Moses
Sleeping on a bed of thorns, yet still you call them roses
Speaking to the masses
Still can't find your glasses
Driving like you stole it, up until it finally crashes
Baby's breathing ashes
Lights so bright, it flashes
Now that outfit clashes
Never got a kiss

Birds on the branches
On subtle stances
Broken hearts, we'll be cooking starving, new romantics
What does it matter, if it's broken and shattered
Battleships with a side of chips on silver platters

Step out on the dance floor
This is what you asked for
Such a pretty face
What was it underneath the mask for?
Time for some revisions
Time for bad decisions
Tune in to the galaxy
Turn off your television
Making your incisions
Droppings of divisions
On a different mission
Look at what you missed
(Look at what you missed)

Visceral emotions
Testing your devotion
Admire what can change when you stop going through the motions
Girl of alabaster, dance a little faster, find another lover 'cause the former was a bastard
Crucibles and casters
Looking for an answer
Settled on a master

You were made for this

Birds on the branches
On subtle stances
Broken hearts, we'll be cooking starving, new romantics
What does it matter, if it's broken and shattered
Battleships with a side of chips on silver platters
