[Verse 1]
I tried to tell you, I didn't know how to stay
You believe she can see through
Cutting at the silent clay
A relief, beckon deep blue
Fettered in the magnet sun
Eat the gun as it feeds you
Spitting at the oxygen
Once again
[Verse 2]
Once again
Empty horses gallop through the violet door
Follow red, crooked courses
Shadows on the moonlit more
Oh, my stars, winged creatures
Gathering in silken height
Like the last human teachers
Machinery of constant sight
[Verse 3]
Once again
We must bleed now even as the hours shake
Crystal blood like a dream true
A ripple in the wound and wake
You believe, I believe too that you are the river of light
Who I love, that I cling to In the belly of the empty night
[Chorus]
From the thirty-first floor of the simulation swarm
With the drone of fluorescence
Flicker, fever, fill the form
And a warm gush and I wanna touch
Like we never could before
I'd fly to you tomorrow, I'm not fighting in this war
I wanna drop my arms and take your arms
And walk you to the shore
[Verse 4]
I remember building an energy shield
In your room, like a temple
Swallows in the windless field
Very thin, with your mother, tall as a pale green tree
Very wild, bright as winter
Rising with a prism key
And a child to deliver tangled in the blood and vine
As the first little angel taken from the northern light
You believe, i believe too
That you are the river of light
Who I love, that I sing to in the belly of the empty night
[Chorus]
From the thirty-first floor of the simulation swarm
With the drone of fluorescence
Flicker, fever, fill the form
And a warm gush, and I wanna touch
Like we never could before
I'd fly to you tomorrow, I'm not fighting in this war
I wanna drop my arms and take your arms
And walk you to the shore
I'd fly to you tomorrow, I'm not fighting in this war
I wanna drop my arms and take your arms
And walk you through the shore
[Verse 5]
Little Andy, soft in his newborn skin
Only one, little Andy, will you return again?
I believe we will renew
Because there is no other
Once again, fall asleep with our backs against each other
I believe and you believe too
That you are the river of light
Who I love, that I sing to in the belly of the empty night
[Chorus]
From the thirty-first floor of the simulation swarm
With the drone of fluorescence
Flicker, fever, fill the form
And a warm gush and I wanna touch
Like we never could before
I'd fly to you tomorrow, I'm not fighting in this war
I wanna drop my arms and take your arms
And walk you to the shore
I wanna drop my arms and take your arms
And walk you to the shore
[outro]
Hey there
Ugh
Good
Again, no
