[Verse]
         
    I tried to

        
 tell you, I d

          
idn’t know how

     
 to stay 
         
You believe sh

         
e can see thro

         
ugh, cutting a

             
t the silent c

 
lay
         
A re-lief, bec

         
kon deep blue,

         
 fettered in t

           
he magnet sun
         
Eat the gun as

         
 it feeds you,

         
 spitting up t

         
he oxy-gen 
         
Once a-gain   

       
              

                  
    
         
Once a-gain 

       

      

            
 
         
Once a-gain, e

        
mpty horses, g

          
allop through 

           
the violet doo

 
r
         
Follow red, cr

         
ooked courses,

         
 shadows on th

          
e moonlit floo

 
r
         
Oh my stars, w

         
inged creature

         
s, gathering i

         
n silken heigh

 
t 
         
Like the last 

                            
human teachers

         
Once a-gain, w

         
e must bleed n

         
ew, even as th

         
e hours shake 
         
Crystal blood 

         
like a dream t

         
rue, a ripple 

             
in the wound a

 
nd wake
         
You be-lieve, 

         
I be-lieve too

From the thirt

With a warm gu

In your room,

Very thin, wit

Very wild, bri
