lyrics

To all the girls that I've loved and lost
All the Pearls that I've come across
All the world's that we can explore
I just so happen to get lost in yours

This is a blessing, not a story ending,
My bodies tension speaks sentences on how the time suspended
Am I merely mending incomplete self reflection
I see me in your eyes, I can die with no regrets then
Is this regression? An escape from waking life,
It's like a dream, how you seem to create delight,
Like a beam that burns bright inside infinite night,
A second innocence as we become intimate
I understand on the surface how we activate each other,
We have to crave another, we back to basic comforts,
Simple games to obfuscate unwritten rules of engagement,
what hides in plain sight, a competition that is ancient,
It feels like life and death, I feel my every breath,
Unveil a sheathed kopesh to your shields that redirect,
My attacks, I'm no match for your face of stone,
Poison underneath your skin, forbidden fruit of seeds we've sown,
wandering in a desert for treasure and the unknown
In a dead sea where you can't drown but you can atone
It's like a maze in a fortress where zealots will face death,
Your bloom offers nectar, I fiend for a taste test,
these ruins and wastelands we mustn't recreate them
Will I lay with the buried, no trace remaining?
Are we in season or is it merely bad timing?
While you follow the storm, sleep will never find me

To all the girls that I've loved and lost
All the Pearls that I've come across
All the world's that we can explore
I just so happen to get lost in yours

Your hands of silk can heal the sick and lame
And Tongues of steel will slash and strip my frame
I am a mortal, limited by destiny and modern morals,
we are meant to be, so why must we clash and quarrel
Who set this up, who built this coliseum,
Who sharpened up these knives, who's programming is the reason
We do this dance, like two legions advancing
Whos out ranked, who's tactics can outflank them
Fog of war, we plot the course to maneuver in circles
I'm an intruder in pursuit of paradise that is fertile
all my troubles melt away, but what lurks beneath the surface,
ice bergs of emotion, whirlwind of our purpose,
My endocrine system on overdrive,
Replenished the deficit now I'm so alive,
I needed your essence so my soul can thrive
This ritual is primal or else we don't survive
Is it we've strayed from God and walk a crooked path?
Or are the gods just jealous that Eden's within our grasp?
I know not of these matters I'm trying to do the math,
How many days I have wasted, how many ways to suffer wrath

To all the girls that I've loved and lost
All the Pearls that I've come across
All the world's that we can explore
I just so happen to get lost in yours

My drive to create is fueled by pain of loss
Every verse I rehearse is like a sacred cross
That splinter in your mind, lie awake from remorse
Cold water through my veins, I let it take it's course,
We can break our patterns of treachery and deceit?
It might be the key to tracendence and release
Suffering from the sutras, I no longer fear these demons,
Arguments for a balance I no longer hear these reasons,
Control of emotion, faith and devotion
To what are we beholden? Each other or this moment?
You are not the first/ I know we both been hurt,
You act like you are vicious I assure you I've done worse,
A trail of bodies behind me cuz I didn't know better,
I love my blood even more cuz I know they no lesser,
Hold on dearly to people whom with you grow together
Only so far you can go if you don't go together
Now you're in front of me, I feel chasms between us,
I cast a wish into abyss and hope it reach us,
every wonder, every mystery what does it teach us,
I hear thunder behind your door and wonder what you dream of,


To all the girls that I've loved and lost
All the Pearls that I've come across
All the world's that have suns and stars
Another one that will leave a scar

To all the girls that I've loved and lost
All the Pearls that I've come across
All the world's that have suns and stars
How we unfurl when we come apart

To all the girls that I've loved and lost
All the Pearls that I've come across
All the world's that have suns and stars
You're just a memory from afar
