Streams of light The color leaves me Taking from me Thieves of color First ones to come From far away Bring, bring decay Thieves of color Reap from me Take from me One touch Silently, slowly Moving towards us Taking from us All of our colors Total white-out What happens after Some cold disaster And no more colors Reap from me Take from me One touch The helplessness of this That bring us here Reap from me Thieves of color

Violetism 03:05
Oh yeah Violet I can see your desires Oh Violet you can feel my hands as I reach Deep into your heart, and feel your inhibitions depart Past your fears I will finally breech Dry swallowing and quickened breath I eagerly tug the tie tight around my neck Or else I will lose control, The hotspace becomes too much to hold It's far beyond the point to correct Ferociously I will let the straps fall down your shoulder Undress the spirit I want to reach within Oh Violet, I have contracted Violetism It's the depth behind my way, Violet Don't you see I miss the name I cry tonight I'm here for you Your heels dance lonely on the floor And a pile of your past graces the cold tile I finally am your source of heat pulling you deep Into the sensual retreat for now I will Prepare for my dark trial Oh Violet, I have contracted Violetism It's the depth behind my way, Violet Don't you see I miss the name I cry tonight I'm here for you

I'm interested in pulling the clouds down to earth Let's make a fog so no one will find us out And we will swim through this fog Escape up and reside forever in the atmosphere Now here we sit, dangling our feet into the cold cirrus But before we could breathe deeper, you slipped And fell through the cracks in the sky's foam And returned to a naked earth Every now and then will you look back up, and remember That the spiral clouds are because of me I have kicked them to signal that I am still alive and well I just am living a life without you

Bystanders 03:34
Captured in your ghost arms A non-warming embrace Does it mean you're not it When I'm still feeling lonely A loving man has been replaced By a strange looking creature Reality never to be faced As he slowly chokes her Let me invert this sky tonight Let me restart and release again I will study this new insight To never feel this pain again And I found a lever inside of me And I pulled at it with all my might And a human was born so suddenly And in my hands, held your coat so tight The cosmos setting and the ugly bright I avert my eyes from the bleeding beams I deep down hope that you feel contrite I beg never again you enter my dreams This loving man has told his lies To keep her locked inside him The fallacies that he denies Augment until the world grows dim Let me invert this sky tonight Let me restart and release again I will study this new insight To never feel this pain again Let me invert this sky tonight Let me restart and release again I will study this new insight Tell the Bystanders

Upon the stage, the secrets behind it all I came here to dance, you came here to fall Stories and sing-songs that speak of your travels Counter to culture your justice unravels When I see you so sexualized, I feel distant I am suffering in my youth, too afraid You're over there screaming: drugs, rock, and roll So I just retract away, out of fear of no control I'm just a child, leave me alone, let me play my little violin I prefer heart and mind, to your force of adrenaline When I see you so sexualized, I feel distant I am suffering on my own, too afraid Corrupt come get me and mess with me, but leave a piece of me intact The place that I truly wish to go between science fiction and fact A balance inside a universe where I can remain within my youth But to me the difference is clear in theory versus truth When I see you so sexualized, I feel distant I am suffering in my heart, too afraid Lalalalalalala

Somehow the reason got so lost Caught in a distant soaring and trembling warm song I was not prepared for all that this has cost And in the end there is no right or wrong In this world I can never say I do nor can I say I don't have regrets But ends come and go Please, tell me that you will still think of all the things we said And all the things we found in each other My last wish to you I try and I ponder, but I cannot feel complete Awaiting a future, till then I will accept defeat You had broken my heart with her body for fun And it was never undone In this world I can never say I do nor can I say I don't have regrets But ends come and go Please, tell me that you will still think of all the things we said And all the things we found in each other My last wish to you In this world I can never say I do nor can I say I don't have regrets But ends come and go Please, tell me that you will still think of all the things we said And all the things we found as one My last wish to you

You want to be freed Stop. Listen to yourself Claims of escape, falsely proclaim nirvana Tying up your energy Using up all your energy So blindly now Live and you'll breathe, breathe And taste and you'll see, see Stop taking it over Before it is over Orchestrated so unfree Chains you wrap yourself inside Sworn to count on afterlife Some may follow some may hide You want life anew Stop and look in, stop and look in Answers are greater than logical data Eating up your energy Torturing all your energy So painfully Live and you'll breathe, breathe And taste and you'll see, see Stop taking it over Before it is over Talk to your soul, soul Your natural spirit Will take you much higher Seducing your fire Live and you'll breathe, breathe And taste and you'll see, see Stop taking it over Before it is over Orchestrated so unfree Chains you wrap yourself inside Sworn to count on afterlife Some may follow Live and you'll breathe And taste and you'll see Stop taking over Talk to your soul, soul Your natural spirit Will take you much higher Seducing your fire
