lyrics

In the heat of it all,
I took a trip down the steps in my head,
Warm waters turned cool,
And I felt I could float to the edge.

Flashing blood orange tints,
As the dashboard started to melt,
Even the shade was unforgiving,
In a streetcar named 'Hell'.

Glitter on the surface,
Was filling in the cracks in between,
Tried to hold back the tide,
But crashed in the midst of my dreams.

And these sounds and these circuits
Are gunna blow the fuse in my head.
And these shadows are so perfect,
Along with the words we left unsaid.

Moonflowers kept blooming,
All around me was a different view,
Time was disappearing,
Silhouettes turned a silery hue.

I took a seat in my thinking chair,
Just to give it a try,
I loosened the strings on my earlobes,
And knelt in the morning light.

And these sounds and these circuits
Are gunna blow the fuse in my head.
And these shadows are so perfect,
Along with the words we left unsaid.

And these sounds and these circuits
Are gunna blow the fuse in my head.
And these shadows are so perfect,
Along with the words we left unsaid.

And these sounds and these circuits
Are gunna blow the fuse in my head.
And these shadows are so perfect,
Along with the words we left unsaid.
