lyrics

I can smell the flowers burning, see them lighting up the day
Maybe we could spend some time, watch the world decay
I'm so lucky you're so lovely

I will follow you, if you want me to
Through the looking glass, I'll pour tea for two
We can meet tonight. I'm not sleeping right
Always on my mind. Always outta sight

A mind is a terrible thing.
And nothing is quite as it seems.
When all of your nightmares are dreams,
and you just can't seem to control your screams.

Hey you.
Can you help me down?
I seem to have hung myself.
Can you look around for something sharp to cut this noose?
I don't want them to see me. Not like this.

Sometimes your screams make me laugh.
And I cannot control myself.
At times, things can be hard.
It gets harder every day.
This is hell. Can't you tell?
For your insides are outside. They talk about breaking your soul.
Limb by limb. Hymn by hymn. They're tearing your world apart.
Black is white. White is grey.
Grey as night. Night is day.
But it's still dark, and it will be 'til your days end.
This is hell. Can't you tell? This is hell. lol.

I will follow you, if you want me to.
Through the looking glass, I'll pour tea for two.
We can meet tonight. I'm not sleeping right.
Always on my mind. Always outta sight.

The golden era of TAOD&B. This is where they mastered their craft, but also... once you reach the peak, what's left to do? Controversy and a horrible falling out, make-up, and final bitter breakup followed. But try to remember the good fun that came from these two. Nova
