lyrics
wake up to a scene, drifting through a dream, staring down an endless hallway and realize you're standing next to me, you're torn from magazines, you untangle angry wires and calm me down so I can finally sleep
I faded with the day, a sunlit masquerade, thought that I might soon catch fire and burn myself alive to feel your shade, my blood's old and grey, every cell and every organ wishes that I knew what you would say
love is like a midnight sky, suffocating in your light, empty like a faded sign, telling you to run
the riot has begun, the angry mob inside my chest makes the weight of every breath feel like a ton, there is only one who hypnotizes with her footsteps and lips that burn me like I touched the sun
a storm over the seas, a thousand more degrees, everyone who thinks they know you has never seen that look you give to me, now's the time to leave, shooting myself into orbit around a little place called Mercury
I faded with the day, a sunlit masquerade, thought that I might soon catch fire and burn myself alive to feel your shade, my blood's old and grey, every cell and every organ wishes that I knew what you would say
love is like a midnight sky, suffocating in your light, empty like a faded sign, telling you to run
the riot has begun, the angry mob inside my chest makes the weight of every breath feel like a ton, there is only one who hypnotizes with her footsteps and lips that burn me like I touched the sun
a storm over the seas, a thousand more degrees, everyone who thinks they know you has never seen that look you give to me, now's the time to leave, shooting myself into orbit around a little place called Mercury

They Carried The Clouds
by ParadigmThis is the last album by the first band I was ever in. It is something I am very proud of, and I think you will find it engaging, exciting, and worth coming back to again. I'm on lead vox/guitar.
