steely blue 06:28
layered in drugs and self-deception, maybe your heart suffered brief recollection “xanax and chill” - spendin’ days in heaven whitewash your woes, pretend it’s never endin’ - cadillac prozac, drinks, and the lies mistake the day for the night sky mistake “me” for “you and I” won’t fool me again, won’t pull the wool over my eyes… the world gets lost, your mouth’s a mystery, woe we’re dizzily dancin’ round the vince van gogh i feel like king kong, i took ya, where’d i go? we’re on a seesaw, just up and down… rail me some pills, smoke a marlboro she gazes behind, turn to a pillar of salt my mind half-empty, a steely blue afterglow but something distracts me - you're not the one i think i know...? (well i was) blinded by drugs and self-deception maybe in your eyes - i saw my reflection “xanax and chill” - spendin' days in heaven white whitewash our woes, pretend it’s never endin’ cadillac prozac, drinks, and the lies, mistake the day for the night sky mistake “me” for “you and I” won’t fool me again, i’ll pull the wool from my eyes oo, i said it, you ain’t the one for me oo, i said, please take your bags and leave cause baby your lies are what i once believe, and now that it’s over we can’t stay self-deceived… well why’d i feign interest to make you believe? stick around the morning, serve you coffee, empathy - we’d laugh at the same time - don’t I believe in telepathy - fate or destiny? You say to me - well - i was young, i was insecure i didn’t believe - well i was blue - so far gone - girl, you took care of me well i’d ask the same if i was you and you was me remember, same thing happened to Adam and Eve don’t act surprised, they too were expelled from the garden of ecstasy… well bb i know you now - girl we don’t - have to try... if you care about me, let me live my life... love floats away quickly - living in a foggy dream… don’t be angry but we’re cured now, we’ve woken, i swear, i sincerely believe well bb, take care - why don’t cha - thank you for your time you know intimacy is the hardest thing to find someone to love someone to trust to confide someone to hold you through the lonely, stormy nights… someone to love someone to trust to confide someone to hold you through the lonely, stormy nights… ooo, i know, it’s a steely blue afterglow it’s a bloody seashore after jaws enclose… i suppose i thought i loved you for a moment though i suppose, dreams confuse those who don’t read the signs, along the road who dive in at times when the water turns to gold treat a coffin like a soul think they’ll never grow old... breaking- breaking news, girl this water is too cold this water it’s too cold whoa, i know it’s a steely blue afterglow
