Now I'd rather bleed out a long stream from being
And nothin's smooth or flawless
How to blend in to this mess
Looking back, towards a long white beach
I have drawn blood from the neckline
In the corridors of the arena in blindfolds
Like a little boy up on a pony in a show
So just keep on letting go
If I thought I could fit in
'Til I'm delivered for the first time
Now turn off your lights
I'll still be on this road
But nothin's hard as gettin' free from places
You'll just wake up
Faceless shadows movin' slow
In a puddle of respect
So now, if downtown explodes
They may ring before I'm through
'Cause I'm comin' home
Now, no more amused
And mighty blue sea
'Cause I must be close
In the back of an angel motorcade
I was once lost
That follows in rows
I was first-born to a parade
I just pulled down the matador
I've been the puppet, I've been the strings
Like a disposable lover, decomposed
I know the vacant face it brings
Just screaming to be delivered
In the engine in cold December
I've been the bull, I've been the whip
It doesn't matter who walks in
Burnin' up into yellow flames
I've been waste-deep
'Cause I can't fix something this complex
When vampires were in fashion
Now I'm 10 miles in the deep
But soon I'll be delivered for the first time
In the burnin' meadows of my mind
I've been gone, I've been remembered
You know I'd even learn to cut my throat
Well than drown, laying face down
To being delivered for the first time
'Cause I'm not comin' home
Where nothin's hard, nothin's precious
The sounds of a trumpet would blow
Down a narrow cold black river
I've already been
Lonely and feel blessed
Now the bells of curfew
For the first time
I've been alive, I've been a ghost
Shootin' fire from the hose
'Til I'm delivered for the first time
Any more than I can build a rose
So now, turn on your lights
I would move swift when
And I just wave back
'Cause I, I once heard that you gotta learn
You might keep clean
You know, the joke is still the same
