Revive
from Fire-Breathing Bulbs by Tendon Levey
lyrics
At the hint of her
There was a prescience to cry before
No open eyes could know how it’s good
Lost and ever bored
My eyes were not made for so much reflected light
They're meant to keep inside
Where the mind knows what color they are
Quicker than anybody passing by
But who is passing by
Nobody is passing by
Unless my bedroom is a public place now
Dance your dance
Dance your dance
When I heard I was dying
I needed the love left in me
To grow into something I could breathe through
When air took its leave
The dream of ours
Is a balcony to spit from
But how can I spit
When I know how good it is
To be up beyond the rest of the crows
Would a blow to my head
Be a horrible thing
At a time like this
Or would it take me from where I am
Let's stay unimpressionable
Dance our dance
I've won and lost as the Theion Water Pourer
And all of my memories
Bothered and collared
Withheld by police
If my vocal teacher was here
He would bruise me for all that I release
There was a prescience to cry before
No open eyes could know how it’s good
Lost and ever bored
My eyes were not made for so much reflected light
They're meant to keep inside
Where the mind knows what color they are
Quicker than anybody passing by
But who is passing by
Nobody is passing by
Unless my bedroom is a public place now
Dance your dance
Dance your dance
When I heard I was dying
I needed the love left in me
To grow into something I could breathe through
When air took its leave
The dream of ours
Is a balcony to spit from
But how can I spit
When I know how good it is
To be up beyond the rest of the crows
Would a blow to my head
Be a horrible thing
At a time like this
Or would it take me from where I am
Let's stay unimpressionable
Dance our dance
I've won and lost as the Theion Water Pourer
And all of my memories
Bothered and collared
Withheld by police
If my vocal teacher was here
He would bruise me for all that I release
