Strangely enough, this song was mainly inspired by the Cocteau Twins. I think this songs exposes my heavy influence in Broadway show tunes. -Burke
lyrics
DISTORTIA
Dark these days
keep them under us
our sentimental moss grows beautiful
Pull these shades
Weak, anonymous
Our violence has cost
So critical
Only slightly human
Make them wait to get your fix
Burning patience at both ends
Hope is not enough
As the pretty tear drops drop
Pull above
Something is so wrong
Holes / Distortia
If the pretty tears don't stop
turn it up
try something new on
Wipe your soul
When will wars begin?
Hide shadows from the heart
Add confusion
Throw these flames
Danger close again
With fragile anger matched,
no foundation
All ablaze
defiance
We're just fractured tinder sticks
waving white flags in the air
CH
Slowly, softly we peel to ones
So, we melt into the sun
Cold you, cold me
The warmth is done
Our life without edge
