Chimera - Intellectual

Holding our roof up on my own tonight

Telling my friends it’s just another ride

There’s no remedy for what this did to me

And as the ground shifts underneath me, I’m losing more than company

Fast lights became medicine

For the bruises on our skin

No more doctors; just revolvers

So we stitch the holes in us together

I look around for pretty faces

Strike up another conversation

Smoke so a minute's fifty seven seconds

The last face I wore erased

It starts with the sink

And then i fall deeper

My eyes, they can’t even blink

I’ve always been a heavy sleeper

What makes my skin her coat? (why do we want this?)

What makes her house my bones? (why do we want this?)

Only one more day left in me; spending all day thinkin ‘bout you

And I could stay stone ‘til sunrise if she wanted

Her sweet kiss had me baptized, the emotion

The bank of her river was my holy place

Her over my skin became my saving grace

The light that displayed her brought blood to my face

Her lips and her tongue, the most beautiful taste

Years’ll come and go, I'll just stand still, you don’t worry ‘bout it

Fire, flood, or snow, I'll just stand still, you don’t worry ‘bout it

Keep your fear no more, I'll just stand still, you don’t worry ‘bout it

It’s my turn to hold, I'll just stand still, you don’t worry ‘bout it

We became figurines in the night

When the lights went out to dark

No more tingles on my skin

But I still can’t fight the feeling

Your crystal gaze stops me in my tracks

Abysmal chase, I'm going back

Can’t let her see what’s on my mind

If I knew, I don’t think she would ever try

To renew what we had before

She would just show me the door

Black ink’s running red

Can’t let cracks show on my face

And it’s these times i dread

Crashing into you at places

Separating from you’s the only reason i'm alive

Side-effect of surviving it is missing the good times

I gotta wear my glass eyes (I gotta wear my glass eye)

Separating from you’s the only reason i'm alive

Side-effect of surviving it is missing the good times

I gotta wear my glass eyes (I gotta wear my glass eye)

Everybody new

Is somebody I knew before

What if one day, I don't know your name

What if one day I-

Shit
