      Lyrics

      I am one as you are three
      Try to find messiah in your trinity
      Your city to burn
      Your city to burn
      Try to look for something
      In your city to burn, you’ll burn
      Am I as I seem?
      I’m down
      Down, so down
      Time is right for a guiding light
      Try to turn to reasons in your bitter life
      Your city to burn
      Your city to burn
      Try to look for something
      In your city to burn, you’ll burn
      See you, don’t you just want to
      See you, I am one
      See you, don’t you just want to
      See you
      See you, don’t you just want to
      See you, I am one
      See you, don’t you just want to
      See you, I am one

      Lyrics

      (Over you, like an angel)
      Bury me in love
      Bury me in love
      Shared your kisses
      Shame your heart
      Buried me and it hurts
      I love my sister so (chain, unchain)
      She don’t smother me (chain, unchain, unchain)
      I played the spades I know (unchain)
      I’m a jack of all trades
      Would you bury me
      Want to see her born inside (hide, hide)
      Some of the things you just can’t hide
      If you see her tell me why (hide, hide)
      Why won’t she come outside
      If you see her tell me why (hide, hide)
      Why won’t she come outside
      Want to see her born inside (hide, hide)
      Some of the things you just can’t hide
      She waits, bury me
      She waits, bury me

      Lyrics

      Not worth asking, who I’m supposed to be

      Not worth saying, seems I’m free

      Not worth reaching, to anyone at all

      Not worth reaching out to stop this fall

      I’m on my own

      Yeah, I’m on my own

      Not worth being, I might already be

      I just want someone to reach for me

      Not worth sinkin’, it’s not worth diggin’ down

      I’ve been here before, and hate what I’ve found

      It’s too late, too late

      I’m on my own, I’m on my own

      I’ve gotta go so far away

      It’s too late, too late

      I’m on my own, I’m on my own

      I’ve gotta go so far away, so far away

      Not worth asking, who I’m supposed to be

      Not worth saying something, seems I’m free

      Not worth reaching to anyone at all

      Not worth reaching out, I’ll stop this fall

      But I like you just the same

      You’ve got to know some how

      That I’m the one to blame

      We’ve come so far along

      To end this destiny

      You’ve got to know somehow

      That it’s too late, too late

      I’m on my own, I’m on my own

      I’ve gotta go so far away

      Yeah, it’s too late, too late

      I’m on my own, I’m on my own

      I’ve gotta go so far away, so far away

      Lyrics

      Planned a show
      Trees and balloons
      Ice cream snow
      See you in June
      Could have known
      I would reveal
      Should have known
      I would conceal your way
      She knows
      And she knows, she knows, she knows
      And she knows, she knows, she knows
      How’s it she knows, she knows, she knows
      And she knows, she knows
      Colors show
      After the moon
      I should go
      See you in June
      Your way
      And she knows
      And she knows, she knows, she knows
      And she knows, she knows, she knows
      How’s it she knows, she knows, she knows
      And she knows, she knows
      Open your eyes to these mustered lines
      Open your eyes to these mustered lines
      The way
      And she knows
      And she knows, she knows, she knows
      And she knows, she knows, she knows
      How’s it she knows, she knows, she knows
      And she knows, she knows, she knows

      Lyrics

      My daydream seems as one inside of you

      Though it seems hard to reach through this life

      Your blue and hopeless life

      My daydream screams bitter 'til the end

      The love I share -true- selfish to the heart

      My heart, my sacred heart

      My daydream dream

      My daydream

      My daydream dream

      My daydream
