"Burning Lakes" lyrics

"Burning Lakes"

Today I'm dirty tomorrow I'll be dirt I know
I wake up early and wobble from the vertigo
The lakes are burning I know I'll be first to go
I live and die every day I'm so versatile

All of my ribs are for you
I walk on these pins when I'm blue
Won't wallow I'll live with the doom
The monsters are splitting in two
I fought 'em I stick & I move
The fog is so thick in this room
I'm coughing again from the fumes
These walls that I'm in are a tomb
My thoughts are A Trip to The Moon
My heart isn't fit for this world
I wanted verisimilitude
But all of my sins are in bloom
They watch while I symphony gloom
Rearranging faces like Picasso
Painting monsters like I think I'm Bosch
Making sacred statements I'm so Basho
Staining walls like Marquis de Sade
These hugs feel like scissors, sometimes
They cut me to pieces
The sun rarely visits our minds
We've all got our reasons
When everyone's ugly my frame of mind's crooked
Don't touch me I'm poison you're under my spell
Setting suns coming to take my light look I'm
Becoming an oyster who's stuck in his shell

Today I'm dirty tomorrow I'll be dirt I know
I wake up early and wobble from the vertigo
The lakes are burning I know I'll be first to go
I live and die every day I'm so versatile
