lyrics

VENUS

Beat boxing drums on the outer rings of Saturn
Skip to my loop on the beaten path and pattern
Crash and burn, through the ceiling and through the rafters
Took a wrong turn at the east and west exits
But its okay though, cause I could remain stable
Shake off the dust and wiped off my halo
Stepped out the door and I began my fable

See the sun still shines in these neck of the woods
So I ungripped my hold and breathed in all the good
It’s the deserted playground, keeps the face down
It’s the take down some notes, keep a fake smile
At the moment of hope, not knowing the planet crashed on
No sign of life, soulless and yet I passed on

break

and then one day, I saw into the distant
A creature, breathing, I yelled and it listened
Closer and closer, another human being
So I stepped and approached her, and guess what I had seen

Beauty in the eye and yes, im gonna be hold her
Grammar pretty bad and stutter is what I told her
Time froze with eyes closed and close shoulders
Angles, spins, blurs and breathe slower
Angels and demons, soon be come LOVERS

Break (kind that last forever)

Days pass on a planet not too distant
Space craft mechanic beginning on the fixing
This creatures full of magic
And yes I didn’t panic
Its an infactuation
And yes I had to have it
Habit, addiction,
Pounded my heart down and beat it into submission
Yet the beauty and elegance
This place that I fell on
Doomsday on pelicans, flying over the playground
Keeps the face down
It’s the take down some notes and keep a fake smile
At the moment of hope
Not knowing the planet crashed on
No sign of life, soulless and yet I passed on

break

Raggedy anne and andy, troubles what you make of it
And as a family of seagulls float in the sunset
Shining on the spacecraft which had been fixed
Twist and turns, no longer is it just a visit
It’s the crash and burn and yet theres something more to it
See the nectar of the goddesses is much more than fluids
The eyes hypnotize and the halo grows even brighter
Reasons of life, thus goodness becomes greater
Prayers answered, visions become clearer
Love her (and) hate her, we were created together
Mirror images at opposite sides of the spectrum
So I let the drums play on the outer rings of Saturn
Cause my heart beats in venus
I plan to stay forever
So I deserted the playground
Keeping the face up
It’s the take down some notes and keep a fake smug
At the moment of hope, now knowing the planet crashed on
2 signs of life, 2 souls, and then we passed on!
