Lyrics

Is one only true in their solitude?
Like blood diamonds
Hell that we go through
And if we just move
Like true lovers do
Are we islands
Lost in green and blue

Wear black of the mourning just like a hug
And you feel and you laugh and you lie
Til it becomes a drug
One kick of the needle and the deal is done
Then you heal and you laugh and you cry
And then count back from one

If I only knew how cardinals flew
Soul and fire
Meaning bursting through
Once I flew that way
So differently today
Test and trial
Bandages and glue

Wear black of the mourning just like a hug
And you feel and you laugh and you lie
Til it becomes a drug
One kick of the needle and the deal is done
Then you heal and you laugh and you cry
And then count back from one

Busted in the waters of a dream that took too long
Attracted by the things we tend to lose
Thrown off by a lager and the lollipop girl song
Distracted by the things we cannot choose

Wear white of the morning just like the sun
And you breathe and you laugh and you love
Til it becomes a drug
Rearview teasing mirror has lost its tug
Then you live and you laugh and you love
And then count up from one
