lyrics

[basic chords] C# D#m B C#

The weeks go by,
and yet I find myself unstuck
crumpled up convincerd im an animal, in a most sinful
display of an out-of-luck

[chorus, varies each time]

deific power,
that only works when you're not myself,
got to put childish thoughts, and inclinations,
locked up on the shelf

and forget what we can't
the only way to go's above
my own horns & thoughts, inclinations
must be firmly rooted in love,

a kelly green heart,
shielded flesh leads to a tender soul,
below the fallen tower, there sprouts a flower,
a meaningful kiss unfurls it like a scroll,

[bridge] C# D# Bm C#

Levender Fire,
that only shows for a damaged soul,
no matter what helps you live, you cannot give
up any inclinations that make you whole,

[pause]

Please forget me
only mauve spirals lead down this path
a gentle skiff coming to harm in a sea of
miscommunications, hypocrisy, doubt, and wrath

[long bridge + vocal] C# D# D#m B C#

Deific Power,
that only works when I'm not yourself,
got to put childish thoughts, and inclinations,
locked up on the shelf

and forget what we can't
our selves who climb to the highest highs,
only to find, it's true; as above so below,
and we're lying down unmoving in a cloud of flies,

[long bridge + vocal] C# D# D#m B C#

but deific wisdom,
which only shows when we are ourselves,
a contraindicational circumstance
as the only way to live is to be yourself,


and deific wisdom,
which graces your mind if you let it be,
it'll show us what, we're looking for,
I just hope it's the locked up cupboard's key

[ending] C# D# D#m C#
