Deep Blue - Eldest 11

Faster than the speed of light

My choices are crossroads

I want to feel my feet in the earth

Give me ground my sweet war

I’ll paint my face and steady my nerves

Close my eyes and think of good times

Footprints here today, washed away tomorrow

I am a hungry ghost, but the past is hard to swallow

Far from heaven, where I stand my head is full of bad things

So keep your pocket full of rainbows

I don’t need another notch in my bedpost

I’m on auto-pilot with my eyes closed

Waiting in the ebb and flows

The things you don’t need to know.

I still know…

Give me ground (I paint my face) my sweet war

Footprints here today, washed away tomorrow

I am a hungry ghost, but the past is hard to swallow

(So I paint my face) Only shadows remain

(Like the old ways) BITE DOWN HARD!

Learn to bury your heart.

TO LEAVE YOUR MARK!

(So I paint my face)

You can’t dream your troubles away

Realize things change.

(I need my war paint)

Give me my war paint

You get old too soon and wise too late

Look at me now!

Look at me now, I got nothing to prove!

Where are the Heroes of my youth?

They’re fading like the years I’ve abused

I am Jekyll and Hyde.

I am the thing you fear the most.

I carry the deep blue inside

I carry the deep blue inside

(So I paint my face) Only shadows remain

(Like the old ways) BITE DOWN HARD!

Learn to bury your heart.

TO LEAVE YOUR MARK!

(So I paint my face)

You can’t dream your troubles away

Realize things change.

Give me my war paint

(Empty your heart)

SO LEAVE YOUR MARK!

(So I paint my face)

You can’t dream your troubles away

Realize things change.

(I need my war paint)

Give me my war paint

You get old too soon and wise too late

Look at me now!

Look at me now, I got nothing to prove!

Where are the Heroes of my youth?

They’re fading like the years I’ve abused

I am Jekyll and Hyde.

I am the thing you fear the most.

I carry the deep blue inside

I carry the deep blue inside
