The Fifth (Song Lyrics)

Wet places under my finger-tips;
blood that I never believed.
I know that I am a stranger here, but
Hello, I've got to be me.

Market my traits or deceive her here;
I covet all that I see.
Mistake a fire of your smoke alarm;
I lick a roll of your steam.

-riff-

Break up my bowl of your silver stars;
hand out in my agony.
I know that I am in danger here, but
Hello, I've got to be seen.


(Chorus:)
-Break it out like this,
-I've never been the same since your kiss.
-Strangely out of place,
-I'm not the first to see your face.

-and silent,
-I won't be silent... anymore
-silent,
-I can't be silent... anymore


Beyond a fear of a grounded ship;
I picture all that I feel.
My razor cuts with a sharpened tip;
loose all the line on the reel.

You laugh the same every time I go,
and when I come again.
'Feels like the reign of a simple fear;
that some day you won't be here

-riff-

Break up my soul with your golden spear;
hand down in my amnesty.
Bless all these souls in your dreadful gaze;
tune in to my vanity.

[Chorus]

[repeat verse 1 and end of verse 2 progressively slowing and quieting]

[Fade out with Chorus]
