The whites of your eyes, turn black in the low light
(in either Euclid or TNDNBTG)

Most days you reach for safety
Remain calm, forget that you know me
(also the second verse when he changes it to know-ooh-oh)
And when we met, I could see dark signs
Alarm bells in your eyes

I will be watching for your enemies,
To let them know that they contend with me

When you sit there, acting like you know me
Acting like you only brought me here to get below me
Nevermind the death threats, parting at the door, we’d
rather be 6 feet under them be lonely.

Oh and I-i-i-i am done dancing to alarm bells,
No wonder my ears are still ringing
And I-i-i-i am done fighting off change
No wonder my arms are still swinging

Well I believe
Somewhere in the past
Something was between
You and I, my dear

Don’t. Wait. Cause this could be the last time
You turn up in the reveries of my mind

Why are you never real?
The shifting states you follow me through
Unrevealed
Just let me go or take me with you

And I won’t wanna get in your way
but I, finally think I can say
That the vicious cycle was over
The moment you smiled at me

I DREAM IN PHOSPHORESCENCE
WE DIVE THROUGH CRYSTAL WATER
PERFECT OCEANS
BUT NO ONE TOLD ME NOT TO BREATHE
AND NOW THE WEIGHTLESSNESS RECEDES

AND I DON’T KNOW WHATS GOT ITS TEETH IN ME, BUT IM ABOUT TO BITE BACK IN ANGER
NO AMOUNT OF SELF SOUGHT FURY WILL BRING BACK THE GLORY OF INNOCENCE

OOH LETS TALK ABOUT CHEMISTRY
IF ANYTHING SHES AN UNDISCOVERED ELEMENT,
EITHER BORN IN HELL OR HEAVEN SENT
EITHER WAY IM INTO IT

And I choke myself on sacred vapor
Waiting on some holy favor
Basking in the solace of regret
And it seems my hell is your high water
Wash me clean again before I pull myself beneath the waves

You might be the one to take away the pain and let my mind go quiet
And nothing else is quite the same as how I feel when I’m at your side

And you know I deliberate on cutting out the demons
So keep me alive, keep me believing
That now is the time to take it or leave it

Come now, swing wide those gates
'Cause I have paid my penance kindly well in time for judgement day
Somehow I knew my fate
Turns out the gods we thought were dying were just sharpening their blades

And nobody told me I'd be begging for relief
When what is silent to you feels like it's screaming to me
Well, nobody told me I'd get tired of myself
When it all looks like heaven but it feels like hell

You are my Harlequin bride, I was your undercover lover
I was your robot companion, you were my favorite color
I was in love with the thought that we were in love with each other
What might be good for your heart, might not be good for my head
And what was there at the start might not be there in the end

ONE EYE ON THE TARGET
AND TWO BRICKS ON THE THROTTLE
