lyrics

Staring in the wounded mirror for my soul I search
Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt
I wish you were here, I wrote your name in the mirror
There's 2 eyes in your name I dotted them with tears
And I hope you see it in the morning when you take a shower
Just so you know, I'm here and not a coward
I can walk through walls but I can't walk with you
So what's the point of magic if I can't talk to you?
I used to want to fly away up into the stars
Now I just want to pick you up in my car
Cuz when you're in the sky the city looks like a galaxy
I always want the opposite, contradictions balance me
Hope dies last, these machines keep me breathing
And don't think I can't hear you when you visit every evening

[scott crow]
Everything was beautiful
I'm talking to ghosts again
Everything was beautiful
So it goes without you here

I wrote this all on your mirror, take it for what it's worth
Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt
They say no art is possible without a dance with death
I was tap dancing in your attic while your paintbrush wept
I'm drinking dead champagne waiting for the saucers to come
He said what's death but a violet light and a hum?
Am I in a coma or an alien's zoo?
I'm no longer a man just a broken kite that flew
Reading books by Kilgore Trout that I got from Billy Pilgrim
Is this a hospital gown or a jacket from a dead civilian?
So it goes they built 5 slaughterhouses all in a row
So it goes say it 106 times so they know
Darwin said my corpse would be an improvement
But ask me if I'm alive, watch my toes for movement
They got me hopped on on time travel and morphine
Damocles above my head, watch me dodge it as the sword swings
Dead to the world but not actually dead
Now I understand there's that are fates worse than death
Let's hide under the covers and make an artificial evening
Even if that means by tomorrow you're leaving
I'm not really in a coma, it's more of a cocoon
So I could come back and be better to you

[scott crow]
when we are, we are, we are
when we are, we are, we are
when we are, we are, we are
I'm talking to ghosts again
