Rise In Descent - "Leave the Blinds Closed" |
No one lives their life full-out, except bull-fighters. - Earnest Hemmingway Another record player breaks its needle And the song scrapes to a stop Another day, so beautiful Today I'm not getting up (Leave the blinds closed) (this time I burn) Burning, Burning, Burning Tommorow I'll be fine... Burning, Burning, Burning You'll sing a lulaby I'll fall asleep. Now I'm everyone and no-one And your waiting by the phone With any-face, or any-name You know how the story goes... I never call. And I Tireseus sat by Thebes and said It was better for her. And I Nero, years before I blead Sang while the city burned! Oh what an artist dies in me... Oh what an artist the world is losing... In Me. This story half-read, fully understood. The hero is the villian And beneith the executioners hood I see my face! So Angel don't wait up This twilights crystalline enough To serve a banquet fit for a princess So I'll feed you pomegantie seeds And call you Persephone She who destroys the light And for one last moment sirens sing Of flowers you, and they, once picked I am the last petal fallen to the ground The spring is martyred, forgotten And all of Autumns leaves are rotting As every star has given-up Its Romance Its Romance Romance... This is Romance! Today I'm Jake, Living this sunset Isn't it pretty to think so Isn't it pretty to think so Isn't it pretty to think so Isn't it pretty to think so. |
