Just A Phase

One last movement
Post positions of lazy days
And quiet pleasures
People slide by
And make faces of treacherous recourse
Was it one of us
The stage is set
For a king to appear
Make men into babies
And little ones into stars
Fills skies naked until now
Wraps the Earth
And keeps it cool
For the fear to come in
And it comes in
Nature's victims pay daily
To waiters and waitresses
That serve us
That serve us up for the last time
We're the nomads
Of pain and anguish
We stray from camp to camp
Looking for a fire to consume us both
Even for now
To take in the smoke
Tears fly and we choke down
Every last movement
Welcoming patriots
For their new moon has come
It lays smoldering
Turns songs with the grace
Only a villain could have
Slowly settles
And spells death
Turns it up a bit
I need the noise for drowning
Drowning's good
I see the norm has left it for me
And I'm selfish
I'll take it and drown
I've been this way for hours
I'll just wait to be put out
With the naked
They know formula
Got it down
"Sin is easy
It makes us believers that we're alive"
She sends me
Must be her eyes
Or the way she moves
Tempts me
Leaves me twisted
Wrapped in every look she gives
And I'll take it
And I'll take 'em all
And we are spent
And we're spent
And we return burning
Or drowning
