Amarousion

In the streets where you have grown

someone robbed you of a precious thing you owned

and left you there, breathing still

Tell me Jane, what did you see?

you were busking underneath a yellow tree

hopeless smile, lonesome tears

Darker times were out of reach

now they've found us with a nightmarish twist

don't be scared

In my dreams I try to hide

from a monster bereft of any pride

is it me?

is it you?

And all those loco people making up a sad refrain

they have to sing it slowly, in keeping with their empty heads

so prematurely, we forget the things that matter the most

Tell me child, what do you seek?

have you found the yellow purple willow tree?

easy now

Those crowded streets, like buzzing flies

you set the tone gazing at the velvet skies

haunted rhymes, long goodbyes

All those lonesome people making up a sad refrain

they have to sing it quietly, in keeping with their empty heads

and you come shouting loudly, creeping down this empty road

"I am left with nothing, but I shall try to save my soul"

And all those loco people making up a sad refrain

they have to sing it slowly, in keeping with their empty heads

so prematurely, we disguise ourselves as faceless, silent lambs
