There are riots in the streets of Mombasa Children dying in the streets of LA I am standing in the riot of a street light You are sleeping in the sheets of my rain A million stars explode into oblivion light won’t reach us for millions of years A million sighs dissolve into solitude Trading silence for someone to hear And You, you, you, you You, you, you, you You, you, you You’re a beautiful genius You’re a beautiful genius Children laugh in the swings of a schoolyard Lovers linger on the street after dark I am swimming in the laughter of sunlight You are drowning in the waves of my heart A million stars explode into oblivion We’ll be gone Before the world gets cold A million miles dissolve into minutes trading distance for someone to hold And You, you, you, you You, you, you, you You, you, you You’re a beautiful genius You’re a beautiful genius Tongues drip with revisionist history Hypnotized by the way that you kiss me Whisper secrets about that hands that you hold Trading love for the lies that you told

Hangin’ round down on 6th Street Your halo in your hand Slide into a backseat with some other man Tell me lies that are so sweet I’ll believe them when I can I think about you in the darkness I think about the darkness in you It’s true Strawberry burns and blisters and things you can’t explain tight eyes and a fever You’re whispering my name twist me around your finger it’s driving me insane I think about you in the darkness I think about the darkness in you It’s true Darlin’ will you please the light on I promise I’ll be home by morning When you find yourself broken And the stars above you fall When the words left unspoken hang there above us all I’ll be right beside you all you have to do is call I think about you in the darkness I think about the darkness in you It’s true It’s true It’s true It’s true It’s true

Here come the vampires setting fire to your soul out in the cold world the burning takes a toll and you need to get away from it all you need to find a way to get some distance from it all and the planes fly to the east and they touch down and you climb into your bed And you shut down When you're living in your head It's easier to walk around And when the voices speak You cannot hear a sound Because you're screaming when you're dreaming I'm the king of this kingdom And nothing brings me down Anymore Here come the lamplights when the sun is going down out on the cold streets it's hard to get around and you try to get away from a girl and you need to find a way to get some distance from her world and the planes are overhead and they move on as you climb into your bed No one knows When you're living in your head It's easier to walk around And when the voices speak You cannot hear a sound Because you're screaming when you're dreaming I'm the king of this kingdom And nothing brings me down Anymore Here comes the sunrise setting fire to your soul Out in the cold world it's starting to unfold and you need to come back to it all you need to find a way to bring it all back home And the planes are flying west and they touch down and you step out of your head and you know Yeah, you know When you're living in your head It's easier to walk around And when the voices speak You cannot hear a sound Because you're screaming when you're dreaming I'm the king of this kingdom And nothing brings me down Anymore No, nothing brings me down

She said no This is not you but this is me and I think I should know If I am what I’m not that makes it me by default Pretending the truth until it all makes sense And how am I not myself? How am I not myself? And she says wait I’m confused but that’s alright you really couldn’t know I can’t be what I’m not Unless I can be Of course Pretending the truth until it all makes sense And how am I not myself? How am I not myself? Oh darling can we be so existential Oh darling can we be so existential I am me and you are we and he and she How am I not myself? Him and her and they are theirs and lines that blur How am I not myself? Pretending the truth until it all makes sense And how am I not myself?

Break like a wave on the ocean The emotion is fleeting it pulls with the tide It pulls you aside and whispers everything’s wrong everything’s wrong And you won’t notice everyone leaving Until you realize everyone’s gone In this dream that you’re having The fields are all on fire Every word that you say The truth makes you a liar But there is no point in crying Dry your eyes, dry your eyes There’s disaster in the design and every enemy mine is a friend of yours if you stay the course I’ll whisper Nothing is wrong Nothing is wrong And you won’t notice I’m leaving Until you realize that I’m gone In this dream that you’re having The fields are all on fire Every word that you say The truth makes you a liar But there is no point in crying Dry your eyes, dry your eyes Dry your eyes, dry your eyes Have no worries Have no fears Dry your eyes, dry your eyes Your heart is blind Your conscience clear Dry your eyes, dry your eyes All things in good time So, dry your eyes
