DEAFHEAVEN LYRICS

1. Shellstar

Nothing changes the condition
Dormant sooted desertion
And when a violet peeling shows teeth glowing, horizons fleeing, lilacs swaying
A sublime wander through summer fire
The char, the ash, the cough, the roar
I question the reason for the freedom in unfeeling
I question the reason in this furnace of revealing
Salvage the illusion of once mint gardens
Before a violet peeling showed teeth glowing, horizons fleeing, lilacs swaying
When it takes you, you'll be remembered
Young and kind for all time
I question the reason for the freedom in unfeeling
I question the reason in this furnace of revealing
All my reasons gone
Flooded with raining
Levees are breaking
Flooded with raining
Levees are breaking
Houses are bursting
Sisters are sleeping
Flooded with raining
Levees are breaking
Houses are bursting
Sisters are sleeping
Flooded with raining
Levees are breaking
Houses are bursting
Sisters are sleeping
Flooded with raining
Levees are breaking
Houses are bursting
Sisters are sleeping
Flooded with raining
Levees are breaking
Houses are bursting
Sisters are sleeping

2. In Blur

In blur, father
Glanced over stirred
Imagined you laughing
Muddied feet dancing
What is this aching prism?
This prison wincing
Receiving sudden swaths of dogma
Wandering over royal yonder
Wandering over flooded ground again
What does daylight look like?
What does daylight look like in this chaos of cold?
What does daylight look like?
Solitude and falling into respites now
In blur, hovered
Accepted devotion
Unearther, bleeding ark of creation
Wandering over royal yonder
Wandering over flooded ground again
What does daylight look like?
What does daylight look like in this chaos of cold?
What does daylight look like?
Solitude and falling into respites now
What does daylight look like?
What does daylight look like in this chaos of cold?
What does daylight look like?
Solitude and falling into respites now
Who are you now?
Forgive the trembling love
I'm weak and acting bold
Forgive the trembling love
I'm weak and acting bold
And alone
And alone
And alone
And alone

3. Great Mass of Color

Quiet as a cradle
I laid in a middle night drift, spinning
Hissed at the moon
Conjured up the flowers to fix my impression of the gloom
I feel them all, great mass of color
Flooded in my bed
I feel them all, big mass of color
Flooded in my bed, dissolving into red
Half-awake holding my ghost in the morning
Sunlight coming down the bend, maroon sky on the send
My great former terror when trees gave doves the leaves
And I was grim drunk death, a stranger to myself
I feel them all, great mass of color
Flooded in my bed
I feel them all, great mass of color
Flooded in my bed, dissolving into red
Do I need this affection? (Do you?)
Do you need this confusion? (Do you?)
Living trapped inside this body
Soft, haunted, waiting, wanting
Measured change evades real healing
Taking love with little reason
Seeing you as I was, behind a locked door, nervous and a (Fool)
Seeing you as I was, desperate for men to guide (You)
You are the sea and nobody owns you, owns you
You are the sea and nobody owns you, owns you
Owns you, owns you, owns you, owns you

4. Neptune Raining Diamonds

[Instrumental]

5. Lament for Wasps

Frigid bedroom capture
In a spring without desire
Harvesting brightness despite
Drawn to the heat, not the light
I lay steady
Stare at the ceiling, waking fears of nothing
You lament for wasps
You glow cobalt
In the home of the friendliness
Another night spent fussing, feasting like the lords
Laughing at the fronting, singing to the chords of hell imagined
To the chords of hell imagined
Hell imagined
Hell imagined
In this perfect hour
Gasping in a sleepless kneel
Holding onto gleaming teal
I lay steady
Stare at the ceiling, waking fears of nothing
You lament for wasps
You glow cobalt
In the home of the friendliness
Another night spent fussing, feasting like the lords
Laughing at the fronting, singing to the chords of hell imagined
To the chords of hell imagined
Hell imagined
Hell imagined
Lament for wasps
Cobalt blue
No time for wasps
Cobalt blue
No time for wasps
Cobalt blue
No time for wasps
Cobalt blue
No time for wasps
(This color sees an end) cobalt blue
(Once again)
(Once again) no time for wasps
(This color sees an end) cobalt blue
(Once again)
(Once again) no time for wasps
(This color sees an end) cobalt blue
(Once again)
(Once again) no time for wasps
(This color sees an end) cobalt blue

6. Villain

A cold floor fit for you
In all your midnight itching
No one coming quickly to save you from the after
Hurried with the hounds now
He's my own
(Eclipsing my love, his rottweiler sermon)
He's my own
(Driving the talons, my own villain rising)
Thirty months, I'm still asking if thirty months feels strong
Thirty months, I'm seeking a thirty months' fortune
Inform my mother's people thirty months is war
Dealing with the blood of thirty years well worn
He's my own
(Eclipsing my love, his rottweiler sermon)
He's my own
(Driving the talons, my own villain rising)
You're not alarmed by this heady division?
You're not alarmed by this heady division?
My own villain rising
My own villain rising

7. The Gnashing

Buried secrets, mythic meanings
In tender oceans spilling crimson
A leaking thimble, flowing, fragile
Oozing tension into blue
Hear these howls, heard in our present
I know what this costs us
Hear these howls, embrace the gnashing
I know what this costs us
I know it's exhausting you
A hush
(Without you, I am hushed) a hush
(Without you, I am hushed) like cloaking garment over shivers
(Without you, I am hushed)
(Without you, I am hushed) in this honeyed season
(Without you, I am hushed) why are the boys bleeding?
(Without you, I am hushed) have your tears touched
(Without you, I am hushed) someone's eyes tonight?
Can you hear these howls? Heard in our present
I know what this costs us
Hear these howls, embrace the gnashing
I know what this costs us
I know it's exhausting you
Now I see, now I see (you're weeping with reason)
Now I see, now I see
You're weeping with reason
Now I see, now I see (you're weeping with reason)
Now I see, now I see
You're weeping with reason

8. Other Language

In dreams speaking
In other language
Held you closely
Fed on lightning
How could you see
Beacons shining in the shallow?
How could you know
Relief while sinking to mirages out of view?
Crawl and wander
Tears to water
Growing this garden alone
How could you see
Beacons shining in the shallow?
How could you know
Relief while sinking to mirages out of view?
Blues and golds
Jewels for heaven knows
I know I hear the sound
Imagine loving you at funerals for the few
Navel gazing, birds escaping
Before the quake comes crashing
Navel gazing, birds escaping
Waiting in the light to die
Bound wet legs splayed for the heat wave
For the heat wave
Bound wet legs splayed for the heat wave
Waiting in the light to die

9. Mombasa

Stranded naked on the sandbar, echoed from the stars
Neon sea snake, cemetery roaming under dusk
Doberman visions, you're undressing
Mute and bleary
Hillside castles baking down to sand
Hillside castles baking down to sand
Shamed red Chopin plays awful sounds from the dresser
Nurses' hands carving in slate, hummingbird gestures
Sleeping in nectar
Teething on freedom
Sleeping in nectar
Teething on freedom
The hospital bed filled with your apathy
In a haze of heat, a father hums his tragic song
Before the cold sees its ceremony in your icy eyes
The daybreak glance given
Travel now
Where they can't let you down
Where you can't fail them now
Travel now
Where they can't let you down
Where you can't fail them now
Travel now
Where they can't let you down
Where you can't fail them now
Travel now
Where they can't let you down
Where you can't fail them now
