The Measure - Sycamour

Fuck, Again

I want to be a man

But I love all the sin and the cigarette ash

Black lips, Amen

I want to be a saint

But I love all the darkness, lights just burn my skin

Let me in. Let me in

I can make em understand, I can be your favorite

Lover.

Under all the blood and cement

I know can be the sun, I can see the lights

Lights

Flickering above your sanctuary

Guide

Guide children of the night into the vultures den

Fluorescent twilight beams through window frames to lie to mankind

Deaf, dumb and blind, all fall in line, in time to worship the sun

But it’s cold outside

Won’t you come in?

What is the measure of a man who

Used to believe in something, used to believe I’d change everything but

I can’t remember why

Now I can’t find the time to light this fire behind my eyes

Oh, what’s to show

A million-and-one love-lost souls?

You wanted control

But we both know:

We’ll thrive where you can’t see the lights

Drug obsessed.

6 o’clock, stimulants

I need my medication.

Pump it in my veins, doctor.

Am I an actor?

My stage falling apart

But I can’t see the sun.

I can feel my heart

Oh, what’s to show

A million-and-one love-lost souls?

You wanted control

But we both know:

We’ll thrive where you can’t see the lights

Never been alive a day in my life

Tried to find god but we’re running out of time

(We're dancing underground)

Never really thought that I could trust you

Come to find out that’s all that I can do

I want to die

Spill my life-force, watch it drain out of my veins

I’m to blame

Pain derived from my self-righteous poetry

I want to die

Spill my life-force, watch it drain out of my veins

I’m to blame

Pain derived from my self-righteous poetry

What is the measure of a man (man) who

Used to believe in something, used to believe I’d change

(change)

(Change)

(CHANGE)

CHANGE

I can’t remember why

Now I can’t find the time

t-time

fire behind my eyes.
