Purple Pain / Ultraviolet

Under a stairwell inside of a dream, hanging on me like lights on trees. Rain in the summer, fell through the heat. Days were like hours, months like weeks. I came around, jingled my keys. Watched for cops and checked my teeth. Collapsed in the bathroom and slept on the floor. Mentioned nothing of this to anyone I know. Saying everything I want to hear you say. Shine only for me. Constantly reaching Chasing a feeling Crawl up the steps to me Burn all your sins away. Constantly reaching All of these deep dreams Always Walk like men on Death Row do Following my every move. A straight line, to the end of life. I can't see the end or when the lights turn on. Squeeze the trigger slow, let it be a surprise. There was a war here, that face can't lie. Into a hallway, between two beams, Smiling like children and giddy like thieves, Stealing moments Removing time Shifting creation to be by my side. Fought without reason Belief without sight You opened the door on this purple life. Walk like men on Death Row do Following my every move. A straight line, to the end of life. I can't see the end or when the lights turn on. Squeeze the trigger slow, let it be a surprise.

Ultraviolet Burn in silence Feeling timeless Stretch my eyelids wider still I need to find this violence I must end this mindless trial So I kiss hearts like wings on angels Righteous Vengeance Red dress Red lips Red skin Red blood Dripping against this white line in time So scared So dry Strike like matches on this mattress No more resentment for memories relating to the right and wrong Of what I do Inside of me is the light of you The witness of truth There was a young boy once, whose smile was wide And his face was bright. I was a young boy once That was miles ago in another life. If I could go back to then I surely would, just to see me then When time was like an orchid Heat helps these flowers grow Praise the name Praise the holy name Though I burn in life, In eternity safe. As I drift from life to death From love to faith To pain to break the mirrors again Just to see where the pieces go I know they're always far from here They carry the image, both distant and clear Made to look like the things they see Parts of heaven pulled from parts of me.
