Lyrics
BATTLES:
I'm not taming this battle for when I'm desperate
I'm able to bleed you conscious and stable
With a face that shells halos.
And all my words that melt faces
And all these places we will never go
But I know they'll still be there somehow.
It takes a long way to get back from the bottom.
This I know and although
The bottom's what I've begged for so badly
And madly
I wave my hands a show.
All my conscious battles lead me down
Into fragrant raging, racing sounds.
Colored backward ladders clatter into mounds.
Hollering back at me the weight
It seeps so heavily.
I don't agree with what I feel
Its such a sea of hope.
So long again
So long
So long again
Wakes you
Don't
It takes you harder than you'll ever know
Than you'll ever know.
Just step inside any hall.
Don't you step inside
Don't you, baby, don't you.
Any hall.
