I look good
Together
Got these penny wings
I could actually fly with
It all becomes so clear
Sound goes down
Sanity returns in an instant
The night is bigger...
I’d rather stay near the ground

We all ache for the
Purple storm that’s said to
Smear its finger in the one
True place our soul resides
On the road to delicate love

Coming from its craters
As it’s forced to listen to forgotten lovers
