lyrics

I couldn’t help myself when you were around
All I wanted was to set it all down
I could've loved you but I couldn’t falsify
Everyone that saw me coming
Solid, or otherwise

You could’ve told me that you’d wake to the sound
Of the sinner, incandescent, and loud
I would’ve told you but I couldn’t see your eyes
You’re the one that saw me coming
Liquid, or otherwise

Leave it up to the full
Or the halves,
To the shade

If we brave the darkness at midnight
To the heat that calls our names
And take our place in the moonlight
Black Phillip knows your birthday!

Hold, hold up your hands to the sky
Ask G*d for the unknowable Why
That said, I couldn’t trust the answers anyway
Phillip is the second coming
I’ll just ask Him instead

Going once, it’s our DNA
Going twice, a multiple of the strain
Third time, we couldn’t see it’s eyes
Phil’s the one that saw me coming
Something, or otherwise

We’re all dyed in the wool
And our filth
Will remain

If we brave the darkness at midnight
To the heat that calls our names
And take our place in the moonlight
Black Phillip knows your birthday!

...lead or follow the same
...the gallows call my name!
4x

Every little Mary Lee
will get a bright idea, don’t let her see,
Keep her with a lock and key
What she doesn’t know can’t set her free

The apple of her eye may turn
Like a sinful world; we’d rather it burn
than leave her with a will to learn
The last to act may be the first to find the urn

Righteous men beware
Shield your eyes from her golden hair
or wake up in the devil's snare
It’s peak season, the perfume’s in the air

But will you regret
living a lie? To be the fool and mystified
Come to the wood and join the ride
Remove the binds that tie you to the pride
Goats, or lambs, your guess as good as mine
The night’s so young let knowledge be your bride
Black Phillip wants to blow your candles out!
Let him!

Dawn again broken,
The fauna and flora sing:
Be, rather than seem.
