Lyrics

[Verse 1] On my own I don't need no one Blood red thorn Velvet crimson palms You play so sly But you held on for too long Now your heart is ghostly white In chance devotion, frozen in time [Verse 2] Oh, my love Someday you'll find your home Life on the run Is enough to wear one down You fly so high In a steel bird burning the sky Now your eyes work overtime Arranging oceans and watching them dry [Bridge] Hmm, mmm-mmm-mmm Hmm, mmm-mmm Hmm, mmm-mmm-mmm Hmm, mmm-mmm Hmm, mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm [Verse 3] An ancient tongue The alchemist was wrong Philosopher's stone Made you live too long Abusing fire A self inflicting desire A ritual performed An obligation, a sinister cypher
