lyrics

There you find
Left behind, here
Say you might hear
They'll be right here
Here in the dark
Leave me right here, oh
Lying in the dark
At pitch black
We no longer agree
Was the light blue or gold,
As the sun set on our lives?
Was the light blue or gold,
As the sun sets on our lies?
When we suddenly realize
In the blue and gold
Faces of error, of old
When we suddenly realize
It was no longer blue and gold
A purple found exempt
Blinding our eyes
Blinding my own
Have to forget it
Blinding my eyes
Anointed blue
Reigning on purple portents
Raining on eyes
They were no longer blue and gold
They were no longer purple even though
I was blinded eyelids
I thought hardly of —
I poked my eyelids and
I thought hardly of you
How your kin know birth
Have you spent all that ways
Into the water, the purple-misted followers
Into the water of purple-misted followers
Was it blue or gold?
I no longer know
I can barely remember
What about my sitting there
On the concrete pilings, removed
As the waves sang
As the waves sang
I saw the blue and gold
As the waves sang
A picture of blue and of gold
(indistinct mumbling colors)
Behind, holding a memory
My mind's eye
And our memory
Oh, our memory
And now my memory
Is no longer blue or gold
Behind purple blazing iris
I sleep the silence that's not quite quiet
Seen
An optical illusion of sleepless dreams
And auburn autumn leaves
And dreams
Our evening
A blue and clean
(unintelligible ranting)
(wordless screams)
The purple cordoned iris is all I know
The purple cordyceps iris is all I know
The purple poisoned eyelids are all I know
The purple poisoned islands are all I know
The purple poison eyelets, all I know
I know x7
(more indistinct mumbling)
You have to end free
So I will let, I relapse
Enter your memory
No longer blue and gold
No longer behind my eyelids
Another waking
You find violence
An eager code
I could not notice the time
Reflecting back
Reflecting out
I don't even have to write
Reporting back
Returning to the angst that
Was forgot, forgotten
You know
You know we're doing
You know we're doing through
We're looking out
Looking out, trust
Learning in blue and gold
Learning how to forget myself
My self
No longer blue and gold
No longer blue and gold
No longer blue and gold
Learning to forget myself
Learning to forget myself
Learning to forget myself
Self
Learning
Gold
Learning
No longer no longer no longer
No longer blue and gold
Learning to forget myself
No longer blue or gold
No longer blue or gold
No longer blue or gold
