The Moment You Realize You Re Going To Fall Lyrics - Moment You Realize You're Going To Fall - Black Light Burns

How To Look Naked 

I had see'd people bleed and I thought I'd seen it all 

but my own two eyes would prove me wrong that day. 

There are things that I done only seen by the sun 

and those things will be buried in my grave. 

The crows and the buzzards will pick your bones clean. 

No name of your's will be upon the wall. 

Hogtied on Halloween and raped by magazines 

We line up on the edge to watch you fall. 

No one knows you don't take off your clothes 

You took to the land like fishes take to sand. 

You clambered up your cross to raise your flag. 

Made tissue paper sails. Used thread instead of nails. 

Your autograph was carved across your back. 

We thought that you were done, but then you grabbed your gun. 

You pushed and barked and ran full speed ahead. 

You tore over the hill. We cannot find you still. 

We hit the lights and hoped that you'd be dead. 

No one knows you don't take off your clothes. 

We hope we'll get to see you fall through the canopy. 

With a stomach full of blood, you'll find the ground.. 

We Light Up 

I got my camera, I'm gonna take your picture tonight, and you can see what you look like. 

You got your camera, you're gonna take my picture tonight, and I can see what I look like too, 

with you, who knew that we'd look so good beaten black and blue. 

You got your hair tied back and your fur coat on. You call your girlfriends up and then we're gone. 

We gonna meet down the street and we're drinking for free, 

we pinky shake as you order your martini. 

One last round and away we go, we run a little bit late, but make the show. 

They were getting pretty friendly in the back of the car. 

We gotta fight that crowd to reach that bar. 

We're gonna rage in the city all night long. 

We're gonna rage in the city all night long. 

Your discotheque won't play my song. 

We're gonna rage in the city all night long. 

I got my camera, I'm gonna take your picture tonight, and you can see what you look like. 

You got your camera, you're gonna take my picture tonight, and I can see what I look like too, 

with you, who knew that we'd look so good beaten black and blue. 

Well the band goes on, but we digress. 

We gotta take the back stairs for roof access. 

We can hear the city scream as we yell from the top. 

It's 12:19 and we won't stop. 

Late night lurks are underground. 

Downstairs snares and ugly sounds. 

I'm gonna make a proposition that I know you're about. 

We're going back to your place to act it out. 

And then we'll rage in the city all night long. 

We're gonna rage in the city all night long. 

Your discotheque won't play my song. 

We're gonna rage in the city all night long. 

The bridge, the tower, the top of the roof. We light up the night and we're taking it to. 

House to house, and mouth to mouth. The fire escapes we shake where the sky scrapes. 

The flights rise, and they collide. Tonight we will not be denied. 

I could see that you were trouble from the moment we met, 

but sometimes I've gotta live out what I'm gonna regret. 

We're gonna rage in the city all night long. 

We're gonna rage in the city all night long. 

Your discotheque won't play my song. 

We're gonna rage in the city all night long. 

I Want You To 

Drop the ship in the water and don't look back 

Paint the stables red and the fire black 

We watch the white horse run 

White horse ride from the cell in it's cellar 

Gonna get inside 

Read the face on the shitter right between the ears 

As his holes don't close when he's spitting spears 

There's an eye of a liar on the other side 

And a hole through the chest of the one that died 

I want you to 

You giveth away because 

I want you to 

You taketh away because 

I want you to 

You kiss on the lips because 

I want you to 

I want you to 

Kill a few, kill a dozen, kill another's kin 

He's rapping on the pane of the window again 

He's got a blade for a tongue and there's snakes for eyes 

And his hand's on the handles of a hundred knives 

And if they don't fall down you can watch them run 

With two bullets in your pocket and a rusty gun 

We going three by three to the mountain top 

To throw that son of a bitch right off the highest drop 

I want you to 

You open your mouth because 

I want you to 

You dance on my heart because 

I want you to 

You choke on your words because 

I want you to 

I want you to 

The devil won't take my place 

I need to touch your pretty face 

He don't know your name 

But you're all pretty much the same 

You wanna be my frown? 

I can promise that you'll be let down 

You're a whirling dervish 

A prude to purchase 

Afraid to surface and serve this 

Oh baby 

I want you to 

You pull out the plug because 

I want you to 

You stick in my guts because 

I want you to 

You pray on your knees because 

I want you to 

I want you to 

I want you to 

You giveth away because 

I want you to 

You taketh away because 

I want you to 

You kiss on the lips because 

I want you to 

I want you to 

The Girl In Black 

There's a flame in the desert at the foot of the hills 

And there's a circle in the sand where the water spills 

There's a line up the spine of the girl in black 

And it rips through her dress at the small of her back 

She's been waiting there to take you through that door 

So you can lay her down on the cavern floor 

And you'll see the same flame burning in her eyes 

As you smear your stink across her inner thighs 

You couldn't leave well enough alone 

You hold your heart like it's made out of stone 

You couldn't leave well enough alone 

Alone alone alone 

She slithers through the snow like a snake but she's still 

And she come's floating through the window without touching the sill 

She prefers to make an entrance without using the door 

And she'll be standing on your bed before she crosses the floor 

She's a will-of-the-wisp as she's swinging her hips 

Her breath is like a worm spinning silk from her lips 

And tonight spook lights will be seen from your room 

And you and her and Jack and I are swimming in gloom 

You couldn't leave well enough alone 

You hold your heart like it's made out of stone 

You couldn't leave well enough alone 

Alone alone alone 

The Colour Escapes 

Come on baby lemme give you a name 

And we'll see if you can find a purpose 

These faces all look the same 

And I can guarantee they're worthless 

Some souls are bought and sold 

They fold beneath the surface 

We cannot take their hands 

They'll hold their gold and curse us 

The colour escapes, you know 

You've seen my heart and it's black as coal 

It's not the one that I wanted to show 

You were built like a light on a stilt 

And I can see you wilt in silence 

People stand around waiting for signs 

They become blind to your vibrance 

They don't look, put their faith in a book 

The end result is violence 

Mind you, that bliss it sits on shit 

It sits on mindlessness 

The colour escapes, you know 

You've seen my heart and it's black as coal 

It's not the one that I wanted to show 

Tiger By The Tail 

I see, look across the way there 

Like flame, giving me the same stare 

Eyes locked 

Exhibits A and B 

You draw a line 

Cutting through the air and 

Connect 

Making us a pair then 

It's my hope to get burned 

Don't you see? 

Big kitty cats don't lick no paws 

And little kitty cats don't show no claws 

Big kitty cats don't lick no paws 

And little kitty cats don't show no claws 

I got a tiger by the tail 

And I'm gonna give it a little kick 

And then a big kiss 

It's not safe down on the ground, no 

They keep circling around, yeah 

You better learn to climb a tree 

It's not safe 

Not where we at, no 

You had better get yourself a bat and 

Start swinging away at anything you see 

I got a tiger by the tail 

And I'm gonna give it a little kick 

And then a big kiss 

Your Head Will Be Rotting On A Spike 

Your head will be rotting on a spike 

I don't complain much but I might 

Your life's on a loop just like before 

You stuff your face and still want more 

My head may be rotting on a spike 

I don't complain much but I might 

Given the time it's not the time to make an enemy 

And you will stop seeing 

Give us some time and try to wind up all the ends you find 

There's no end to be seen 

Now that you're blind they're not so kind, not so accepting now 

That you are not breeding 

Bring all you have and all you had, give all you got 

Or stop 

Our heads they are rotting on their spikes 

We can't complain, we lost our sight 

As useless as we were before 

We stuff our face, but we are sure 

We are sore 

Given the time it's not the time to make an enemy 

And you will stop seeing 

Give us some time and try to wind up all the ends you find 

There's no end to be seen 

Now that you're blind they're not so kind, not so accepting now 

That you are not breeding 

Bring all you have and all you had, give all you got 

Or stop 

Torch From The Sky 

Did you hear as she called 

As her voice came down the hall 

How it trembled as soft as a little girl? 

Towards the knock on the door 

I watched you glide across the floor 

As you answered a hundred voices spoke 

We will crawl through the mud 

They will bathe in their own blood 

We will take them like a splinter from an eye 

And we come in the night 

We are made of blackest light 

Like a torch falling fast out of the sky 

There's no fat in this land 

The old heart has left it's hand 

So let's sit and watch the distant fires glow 

We will steal what we could 

We are through being good 

We will only be the sum of what you know 

Did you hear the awful sound 

As they pushed into the town? 

I could tell the switch had flipped inside your head 

There's no love left to give 

We can't hide, we can't live 

We are holding hands and walking with the dead 

You can take me home 

But I can't be alone 

I can't be alone 

Did you hear as she called 

As her voice came down the hall 

How it trembled as soft as a little girl? 

Towards the knock on the door 

I watched you glide across the floor 

As you answered a hundred voices spoke 

We will crawl through the mud 

They will bathe in their own blood 

We will take them like a splinter from an eye 

And we come in the night 

We are made of blackest light 

Like a torch falling fast out of the sky 

Like a torch falling fast out of the sky 

Like a torch falling fast out of the sky 

Like a torch falling fast out of the sky 

Because Of You 

Because of you 

I've searched 

The back streets to the shore 

The river banks 

No thanks 

It won't feel like before 

Because of this 

I fish for little bits of time 

I memorized your thoughts 

And turned them into mine 

I thought I'd let you know 

I won't be letting go 

I won't be turning cheek 

I won't be swallowing 

I thought I'd let you know 

I won't be letting go 

I won't be turning cheek 

I won't be suffering 

Because of you 

I waste 

The life I thought I made 

I throw away what's warm 

The colour starts to fade 

Because it seems 

I dream 

Of being somewhere else 

I try to find that place 

And end up by myself 

I thought I'd let you know 

I won't be letting go 

I won't be turning cheek 

I won't be swallowing 

I thought I'd let you know 

I won't be letting go 

I won't be turning cheek 

I won't be suffering 

Splayed 

When you die I'm gonna roll around and laugh on the floor 

I'll party like we never had a party before 

When you fall I'm gonna be there just to raise up a glass 

All dreams fulfilled of putting boots in your ass 

You know there's something inside me 

Like an animal that's gotta get out 

You know there's something inside me 

That makes me wanna put my fist in your mouth 

When I die I'm gonna come back and haunt you for fun 

Slam doors, move books, make you pee while you run 

When I'm done I'm gonna celebrate my ghostly success 

With my invisible penis watching ladies undress 

You know there's something inside me 

Like an animal that's gotta get out 

You know there's something inside me 

But it's not me 

You know there's something inside me 

Like an animal that's gotta get out 

You know there's something inside me 

That makes me wanna put my fist in your mouth 

But it's not me 

Scream Hallelujah 

Now things have turned for the worse 

Thought I was so well rehearsed 

I guess I'm probably cursed 

I just don't know 

I beat my head on the wall 

I'm trying not to recall 

The inevitable fall 

And so it goes 

I'm struck so shockingly dumb 

I know now I can become 

The definition of numb 

And you can too 

So let's all pull out our teeth 

And go to sleep like good sheep 

Let's watch our TVs and weep 

Oh yes 

You better Scream Hallelujah 

Scream Hallelujah 

You better Scream Hallelujah 

Hallelujah 

Now get the fuck back in line 

And pay your taxes on time 

And lay around like you're swine 

There is no doubt 

You live your life on the screen 

And talk about what you've seen 

A vicarious dream 

You won't live out 

They put the rails in your head 

And as you travel you're led 

You can't control what you're fed 

But you won't gag 

So lock your yourself up indoors 

Ignorant media whores 

Before you're gasping in your plastic bag 

You better Scream Hallelujah 

Scream Hallelujah 

You better Scream Hallelujah 

Hallelujah 

I don't want you to go it alone 

So I left a little seed and it's grown 

But somehow you don't seem 

Like one for watering 

I'll never ask you why 

But these little things, they die 

You better Scream Hallelujah 

Scream Hallelujah 

You better Scream Hallelujah 

Hallelujah 

Bakelite 

Blood is wrong 

But always on the corner of the tabletop 

A bag of bones that sits and smokes 

And laughs at all your stupid jokes 

It's such a fuss to fall for love 

Not fall in love 

To fall 

A drug 

So smug at first 

Then learns the thirst 

Gets worse and worse 

And all your new found 

Hope is gone 

But all along 

It always was 

The same old song 

And dance for now 

You dance so proud 

You sing so loud 

You break apart 

A work of 

I hate myself so full of shits 

A giggle fit 

For wasting time 

And passing by 

I settle down 

Into a frown 

So many years 

Of wearing down 

And out of this 

It's ludicrous to amputate 

A simple wish because it sits 

Just right outside appropriate 

And your 

Hope is gone 

But all along 

It always was 

The same old song 

And dance for now 

You dance so proud 

You sing so loud 

You break apart 

A work of art 

Burn The World 

Where are we? 

Where are we? 

We are searching endlessly 

I got only one night left 

I'm never going to bed 

And where is she? 

Not free 

Brain chained 

Lock and key 

She got- 

A little fever 

But it's killing my head 

I thought I burned the world 

Around me down but now 

The sound is clearly calling us 

Right back to watch them wind it up 

I thought you burned the world 

Around you down but now 

The sound is clearly calling us 

Right back to watch them wind it up again 

We fall 

We break 

It seems real but it's all fake 

It's on the television 

It's your decision 

You walk away with weights on 

And you're gonna sink 

You're extinct 

In your hole 

They say you've lost your soul 

I know the grass won't grow 

So slick, you slipped 

But you slid too slow 

You know 

I thought I burned the world 

Around me down but now 

The sound is clearly calling us 

Right back to watch them wind it up 

I thought you burned the world 

Around you down but now 

The sound is clearly calling us 

Right back to watch them wind it up again 

Grinning Like A Slit 

You can look to the mountain 

You can talk to the dead 

You can run to the city lights 

But it's all in your head 

You can look to a stranger 

But all you'll find is a wall 

You can wish all you want 

But no one answers at all 

Goodbyes 

They are flies 

That rise from shit 

And I was skinning 

A new beginning 

While you were grinning 

Like a slit 

You can try not to cry out 

As you wake in the night 

You can stare at the blackness 

But it's taken your sight 

You imagine a face there 

That you can almost touch 

You can reach all you want 

But it's only a crutch 

Goodbyes 

They are flies 

That rise from shit 

And I was skinning 

A new beginning 

While you were grinning 

Like a slit 

Where are you now? 

Where is the crowd? 

These sleeping streets 

Are speaking aloud 

And I couldn't recall 

The feeling at all 

The moment I realized I was going to fall
