o I went down in a hotel room
In Tennessee when the sky was blue
And I let a cry to you
“Oh rescue me, like I’ve heard that you do”
There was no doubt I felt it fade
With the volume down
While a song just played
I was not the same when I left that day
Yeah the sky was blue when my recess came
Because I’d been sitting in the corner with my eyes bent
Calculating stories of redemption
Wondering if they really were true
Because I took alcohol for cocaine when I felt blue
And all my favorite monsters just smiled too
And said “happy ever after is not for you
You get hurricanes in the middle of the ocean”
All the cold waves like digital stop motion
Keep crashing ’til you wonder if they’ll break you in two
And all the heart freeze lying in the desert
Where the sky seems spilt in both directions
And you can’t breathe
You grow colder while you auction your youth
So I died a million little seconds on the inside
I was growing an infection
My escape plan was choking in the corner
I turned blue
And I couldn’t breathe
Oh rescue me
Oh rescue me
In a hotel room.
Like most songs on the album this song shifts between two distinct modes that work great separately, but when they combine, they become Voltron and are unstoppable! bradykoch
