lyrics

Sometimes nothing rhymes, feel the ticking, killing time
You’re so confused
Bloodshot, Baby Blue, overloaded, know it’s true
You’re feeling used
But I can’t tell you what songs to sing
No, I can’t tell you what phones to ring
No, I can’t tell you anything
But I believe in you

So take it in turns
Reality burns
This should come as no surprise
You reap what you earn
You live what you learn
Make no compromise
They’re twisted and bent
They’re not innocent
They will steal sparks from your eyes
They’re beaten and spent
‘Cause theirs came and went
Like broken butterflies…

Set sail, bite your nails, thinking that the wind’ll fail
On the edge of a knife
Guess who, Baby Blue, you know what you’ve gotta do
Hang on to your life
But I can’t tell you what songs to sing
No, I can’t tell you what storms to bring
No, I can’t tell you anything
But I believe in you

So take it in turns…

It’s black and white, so make it right, peel away the parasites
They hold you down
Tattoo, Baby Blue, you’ve got the shine all over you
Time to take it to town
Still I can’t tell you what songs to sing
No, I can’t tell you what crowns to king
But I can tell you one thing, baby
I believe in you

So make your own terms
Futility burns
This should come as no surprise
You reap what you earn
You live what you learn
Make no compromise
In the unknown
You're never alone
This should come as no surprise
Go out on your own
Goodbye to the clones
And broken butterflies...
