That's True

(álbum: The Valentine LP - 2013)

We both have a darker side
Planets for our suns to hide
Drowned in sulfur oceans
Ringed by singularities

Here we talking me and you
Whispered moonshine and winds or two
Busted building castles
In the woods back home
With the one you love the most
Alone

Love is death with cyanide
A broken promise and stubborn pride
A crumbling vampire fortress
From the age of stones

Nothing smart and nothing right
Will come to make the happy die
And dusty wind swept houses
Dowsed in bullet holes
Like the stories that get told
By a poison ghost

What if none of that was true?
What if none of that was true?

A hidden notion, a shady smile
I finally told on our last mile
Secrets dipped in scolding sparks
Rain down (rain down, rain down)

And if I take a chance on you
Will the chance be on me too?
Will I not make nightmares
Out of my own dreams
Is it as wicked as it seems?

Are you
Are you
Are you

Real love has surely died
Leopard frogs in formaldehyde
And dusty stars and grains of sand
And severed heads in Afghanistan
That make the parts of me and you
That might make sense from this altitude

But what difference does it make
That the whole entire multiverse is fake?
And all we have is this hologram that we make
Whenever we collapse another probability wave
All we are, the possibilities we eliminate
We only survive because our DNA still makes mistakes
We're not made to give, we have to learn to take
And kill and hurt and burn and rob and lie and rape
But what if none of that's true?

Are you
Are you
Are you
Are you
Are you
Are you

Are you
Are you
Are you
Are you
Are you
Are you
