The Royal Thousand

Stare if you stare At the stars, the stars They'll burn out and fall In the fields that surround you If you won't look up If you keep your chin down Raise the white flag Just raise the white flag If you're just gonna cave in Just lay down and die Just lay down and die Trust me, trust me I know you feel it deep down Just breathe, just breathe If you want it bad enough It'll come to you You're giving up all you are Why do you need a thousand Eyes pointing back at you? Why do you want your Name in the empty banner Of those with naught to say? I can see you slipping I can see you slipping away again I can see you drowning in the midnight tide In the tide I can see the sunlight Pierce through the door You are all the things I choose to ignore I am a starving man who does impossible things And you can't see fire if you're standing in flames Just raise the white flag Trust me, trust me I know you feel it deep down Just breathe Just breathe If you want it bad enough It'll come to you If you want it It'll come to you But you don't want it I can see the sunlight Pierce through the door You are all the things I choose to ignore Trust me Just raise the white flag Just breathe Just raise the white flag Burn and fall

If you turn your head away You will miss everything (it's so sad) It should mean everything A love like this lost And no remorse "My son, it's just a burden of divorce" Mark my words I would drop everything But a lie to the face Is the ultimate way Out of this low If you turn your head away It might be easy to sleep (but, it don't matter) It festers underneath The body just burns Like open wounds "My boy, there's just nothing left to do" Mark my words I would drop everything But a lie to the face Is the ultimate way Out of this low Like Oedipus Like Laius Like everything Like everything Everything Mark my words I would drop everything Everything Mark my words I would drop everything Mark my words You will lose everything Mark my words Mark my words

Take it all slowly I'm a slave to the scent of your skin And you're so lovely Under the touch of my tongue And you bite your lips When you make that face Heaven between your hips I stand at the pearly gates I want everything you have to give to me So just give it to me And I wonder What you might be thinking Somewhere deep behind your eyes When I lay you down On the bed at night And you look back at mine Come to me late at night when no one's around I am the falling rain and you are the ground Come to me late at night when no one's around I am the falling rain and you are the ground (just give it to me) And I wonder What you might be thinking Somewhere deep behind your eyes When I lay you down On the bed at night And you look back at mine You are the ground (3x)

I was born the son of the god of gods Eaten alive Saved in my father's thigh Twice born to a mortal mother Shot down with lightning bolts With open eyes in the face of glory Torn apart Limb from limb Payback is a mother fucker Underneath the spell Of the semi-precious Holy god of ceremonial madness Cast into the charm Of the halfway diety Holy god of divine ecstasy Where is the new wine? Dying on the vine I want roses in my garden I came back to the motherland To prove I am who they say I am The moonstruck women And elder statesmen Await Deep in the woods Where you say you came from

And I can feel it Your eyes like rapid rivers Move over me Searching me Like I can deal with it Like I can take in everything And lose you too...

I am no lover I am no faultless man Carry me closer To where we once began Because the days now burn Like fresh lit cigarettes You pull me closer With perfect spinnerets I feel the seams about to split But you're wide-eyed and bushy-tailed I won't be here forever And I can feel it Your eyes like rapid rivers Move over me Searching me Like I can deal with it Like I can take in everything And lose you too (I know you can) (I know you can) I am no fucking lover I'm just a burning bridge These holy rollers They just don't stand a chance Because you speak so slow In secret alphabets You walk so tall now On slender minarets I feel the seams about to split But you're wide-eyed and bushy-tailed I won't be here forever And I can feel it Your eyes like rapid rivers Move over me Searching me Like I can deal with it Like I can take in everything (I know you can) And lose you too (I know you can) (I know you can) I am just a ghost I am just a ghost I am just a ghost I am just a ghost I feel the seams about to split But you're wide-eyed and bushy-tailed I won't be here forever I feel the seams about to split But you're wide-eyed and bushy-tailed And I can feel it Your eyes like rapid rivers Move over me Searching me Like I can deal with it Like I can take in everything (I know you can) And lose you too (I know you can) And I can feel it Your eyes like rapid rivers Move over me Searching me Like I can deal with it Like I can take in everything (I know you can) (And lose you too) I know you can I know you can

Oh my, my, my My lonely love Just rest your mind And your soft green eyes Those dirty red inflections Are just burned into my brain Those taunts from lesser loves I push them all away This is enough to kill me (Just breathe deep) It's just enough to run away (Turn the other cheek) I know it gets hard They're out to get me But, you'll miss the greatest part I will do everything I can I know you know What I would give To see that road It leads to this The cavern that we sleep in And those perfect little trains The lights that hang above us And your candied leaves This is enough to kill me (Just breathe deep) It's just enough to run away (Turn the other cheek) I know it gets hard They're out to get me But, you'll miss the greatest part I will do everything that I can The scent you gave to me It's all that's saving me This is enough to kill me (Just breathe deep) It's just enough to run away (Turn the other cheek) I know it gets hard They're out to get me But, you'll miss the greatest part I will do everything that I can The scent you gave to me It's all that's saving me (2x)

Well don't cry your eyes out On the ballroom floor We're all murderers In a martyr's world So don't cry your eyes out We're only lonely When we're half awake And it's only a matter of time This pillow talk illusion It feels so real Just get me out of here All you talk about is counting sheep Anything to fall asleep No light behind the window Time just builds Slowly kills We don't give a fuck who you are This time of night Miserable empty arms They tend to put up a fight So when you open your mouth You better bite your tongue And God knows You're not the only one

You're not gonna like this The way it comes across the eye I'm not gonna fight you I'm just gonna open your mind You'll catch your death out there If you don't come inside There's no need To run and hide None the wiser Only real eyes realize What the lies are Realize from the start What the lies are Lies are I'm torn up inside from the sight of it Young man, I'm a messenger Yeah, a message that burns so slow But, oh what a breathtaking scene I'm not gonna fight you for it I'm not gonna fight you There's no need To run and hide I seldom dream of you (dream of you) A dream of you would shroud my perfect view I, I see clearly now Shine so vibrantly and stretch across the sky As man, we're just pacing back and forth And walk between the memories that hang across the earth I see clearly now, I see clearly now

After all this time It starts to feel like years inside After all this time It starts to feel like years inside It gets to be just like a day on avalanche These words are a slow romance I don't believe you would say Anything to lead me astray Three thousand miles from here And nothing helps bring it near I know you can't understand My empty hands I know it's times like these These things just make you insane I'm on the front porch with my bags packed And where is my chariot? I don't need golden wings Just something that can make me free Three thousand miles from here And nothing helps bring it near I know you can't understand My empty hands I know it's times like these These things just make you insane After all this time It starts to feel like years inside After all this time It starts to feel like years inside Everything you say It always adds another day We are all soldiers with loaded guns Ready for war Everything you say It always adds another day We are all soldiers with loaded guns Ready for war After all this time It starts to feel like years inside After all this time It starts to feel like years inside After all this time It starts to feel like years inside After all this time It starts to feel like years inside After all this time It starts to feel like years
