NORMA JEAN LYRICS

1. I. The Planet

I hope you burn
I'll be the king of the ash
I hope you burn
I'll be the king of the ashes

What you're feeling is the loneliness of God
What you're feeling is the loneliness of God

I hope you burn
I'll be the king of the ash
I hope you burn
I'll be the king of the ashes

What you're feeling is the loneliness of God
What you're feeling is the loneliness of God
What you're feeling is the loneliness of God
What you're feeling is the loneliness
Loneliness of God

2. Everyone Talking Over Everyone Else

Sit and listen to the voices fade and sing again. Give them space to destroy it all and build again. Fill the space with the lies you shed and start again. Every sorrow, every misery can and will be brought to life if you put it in a story or a lie. Every sentence that you
recognize. Every word of every kind but I was waking up, I was strong enough. Every influential interview. I was in between the lies. But I was waking up, I am stronger now. Every picture, every photograph, I was disappearing lines but I was showing up in the center of life.
Every motion, every point of view: I was always giving up but I have woken up every time of day.

3. Forever Hurtling Towards Andromeda

You said love nothing and nothing that you love can be used against you, but if you’re trying to save me then you’ll have to try harder. The sound is an infinite saint that brings me to its knees. To find my way through space, hurtling like a comet. To find my way through
space. Hey, you’ve fallen on your dreams. They’re running like a river and sounding like a stream. We save for opposite ears. It doesn’t matter what we say. Only diminished and divorced do we learn to what extent we can love. What has to, does.

4. 1,000,000 Watts

If you want to speak to the devil, you will feel the wave of his or her invented wings. We see the shadow of the axe before it falls on the necks of the sheep, but if the light has a secret shade, I am the lamb that has become the wolf. One million watts because I’m feeling
alive but you’re broken on the inside baby and that will never have the final say. I feel bad that you’re angry, but I’m sorry. I don’t care for what it’s worth and if it ever comes down to me or you, you’re probably going to die. So take yourself outside and be along to
mediate with a cigarette. Words of war become acts of war! I’m not fucking around.

5. II. The People

[random phone recording]

6. Death Is A Living Partner

Someone take me down to the river and leave no trail for which to return. Let the muddy water fill my lungs. The invincibility of our youth has just given way to the inevitability of our death and I hope it does. So don’t raise your glass. Redemption wears a red dress but
carries a white flag. I’ll wear that red dress for you. The song on the wind is a desperate man’s hymn and death is a living partner. A consummate, consummate one.

7. Synthetic Sun

Are you feeling alive? Pace yourself before you run straight into yourself. You sleep in fragmented glass with reflections of you, but are you feeling alive? I hope the dead brings the dead and they march across our beds. I’ve done it before and I rode the horse of death. So
ride the horse of death! But let me ask you, are you feeling alive? If the light doesn’t come outside.

8. Reaction

You’re acting like you don’t sympathize with anything at all or anyone for any reason. You’re desperate to fill the space and that makes me a weight pulling you away. I just made a decision. This condition is only what you made. Its calling out your name. I just want a
reaction from you. Negatives and positives will drift, contained on whispered avenues so run, get out while you can. Break a lot of glass. Leave the place in shambles. Be careful of what you leave behind. You will walk across companies of friends and accumulate all the pieces
that you lost. You have to know, I sympathize with you.

9. III. The Nebula

[Instrumental]

10. The Close And Discontent

We don’t need to hash out anything when your friendship death toll says it all. It swims like a shark cutting through blood inked waters, safe from sight. Clouded in blood and seeking a leg to sink its teeth into. So sorry to tell you I’m leaving this sea never to return, and
all of this time I’m just trying to tell you this one thing. Don’t bring me into this. Please don’t bring me into this. I wish you well.

11. An Ocean Of War

This is a break up scene. You’re living like a cinematic dream. Just give me a chance to say everything. You’re not thinking it through at all. Like you ever saw it coming. This is not an opening. So just give me a chance to say, we never saw us coming. If you wanted to leave
me, all you had to do was ask. If I want to be the guesser of you. If you say you’re my darling I’m gonna throw up and die, if I want to be the guesser of me. Everything is under control. Does it hurt you to know that it does not hurt me at all?

12. A Thousand Years A Minute

I am just a sensory of what I’ve said and done. This is what I tell myself to pacify the room. “I suppose living like this is good to?” I’m taking what you’re giving but the giving takes away. Is that what you came for? I should really go backwards like you do. If I wanted to
start over again but I don’t want to be like you, like you do. I don’t want to embrace my ghosts again. Once, twice and every desperate time. So you want to live. So you wanted to die. It that what you came for? Try not to fall into the dark again. Try.

13. IV. The Nexus

We’ve all heard them all say “It takes one to know one” well small lies are big lies and we’ve all told both. The whole world is wounded while you stand around and heal like an angel. You might think all of this sounds so crazy but we want to fall where there are padded
walls. I don’t to be inside while the walls are closing in. if you want to make this all work then you’re gonna have to try. One word said softly and perseverant is the twin of an outright speech but lies travel faster than the truth is said.
