Rise

(album: Your Starry Eyes Will Never Make Us Even - 2012)

Tread that water line
She said you're running out of time
She said you're my little rose, but the heads are gonna roll
She starts talking faster now, so you cannot say a word
And she's hoping you wont notice
Whatever's wrong whatever makes you

Rise up tragedy!
Take this useless heart and watch me survive
Right in front of you
And it breaks my heart to watch you survive...

There's no turning back
She says we all get out of line
She says pour another dose, cuz you're the reason why
I'm so good at breaking your heart
You've already pooled up the pieces
And whatever brought you back
Is what makes you guilty inside…

Rise up tragedy!
Take this useless heart and watch me survive
Right in front of you
And it breaks my heart to watch you survive...

I'm hurt;
I fall!
Are you hurt by it all?

(There's no water line, she said no...)

Rise up tragedy!
Take this useless heart and watch me survive
Right in front of you
And it breaks my heart to watch you survive...
(without it)
It breaks my heart, and I watch you survive.
