Welcome To Crystal Cres

(album: Ruby - 2019)

Queen dressed in black
Directing the artisans
Free spirited
As if you're the last
Said you never knew love
You never knew love 'til you heard those songs
You heard yourself in them
And there go the thieves
Looting the district
They'd do anything to feel like they lived to be
More than you and me
The downpour awaits, so we
Opened the doors and now it's flooding the streets

And you don't care if they like you or not
You just pretend like you do (Like you do)
You just pretend like you do
You just pretend like you do

Man dressed in red
With pain in his fist, he says
"What you need is right there
Just reach out and touch it"
But living is cruel
No matter what you do
You're gonna lose
Yeah, you're gonna lose
There's a rift in the hour
A pattern of smoke
And the bells point at you
'Cause they know something that you don't show in love
You're caught by surprise
You stand amidst the destruction
But you still survived it

You don't listen to them (Listen to)
You just pretend like you do (Like you do)
You just pretend like you do
You just pretend like you do

Swimming in the flood
Swimming in the flood
(You said, "I'll open up the doors if you")
You I live for
You I live for
(He said, "What you need is right there, you just")
Swimming in the flood
Swimming in the flood
(Rain, I'll wait for you)
You I live for
You I live for
(Rain, I'll wait for you)

You don't live in the boulder for long
You just pretend that you do
You just pretend like you do
You just pretend like you do
