Mara Bloom - What Happened in May

Copied!

Turn the key and float down the interstate
Cover up the void with visions filled with neon colors
Forgo faith for what I had to do to you
God wouldn't take control
'Cause we lie
We lie
We lie into the ocean blue
We lie
We lie into the ocean blue
We lie

What's another way to say we're due
Without an episode courtesy of you?
I wish you'd say any other thing
Than reminding me why we've never been in sync
Don't say he never mattered (Especially you)
As if you'd only knew (Especially now)
I've foiled your plot, broke my sacred vows
Taken in your church
I fuckin' say so

Dance with me, and we can live in infamy
A nicotine that will bleed all over history
Hearts crossed for one and the other
One above, the other under
Misery, caught between a fire and a symphony
Covered up in gasoline
Dress up all our sins in color
Stylistic star-crossed lovers
You say to let live, but we haven't lived yet
Those things you said in May addicted me to hope
You like to make me listen, so keen to christen
All the ways that I have been letting you down
Down, while you walked around the pillar wrong
Down, down
And we're supping on our sullen thoughts

The last breath that I take calls out your name
My fleeting thoughts, they trace the lines
That shape your pretty face
As we sink into the blue
The one thing on my mind is you
You, you, you, you, you
It's you
You, you, you, you, you
It's you

Hearts crossed for one and the other
One above the other under
Dress up all our sins in color
Never a better time to die

Now off the side and swung out wide
Tore clean her veil to see her eyes
Pretty thing, tossed aside
Now exposed we see our lies
I can't compromise, it's not do or die
If I lie next to you, what am I supposed to do?
I changed my mind, not too fast
Turn back the clock, erase the past
I can't compromise, it's not do or die
If I lie next to you, what am I supposed to do?
So I spill my guts, forget my fear
Sing naked valor in her ears
I can't compromise, it's not do or die
If I lie next to you, what am I supposed to do?

Now off the side and swung out wide
Tore clean her veil to see her eyes
To see her eyes, her eyes
So I spill my guts, forget my fear
Sing naked valor in her ears
