[Intro] And it's four AM and we will stalk again The princess and her bitter queen On the fourth day of July Deep in Summer's eye Naked like the truth should always be
[Verse 1] So speak your knives (Don't follow with your foot) All this pain in here (All comes from your dry lungs) I won't listen (Your rhetoric is fleeting) My lies are fixed with glue
[Pre-Chorus] Coming straight from off the water Sunburned face and drunken father Crying as she's carving in her flesh
[Chorus] And it's four AM and we will stalk again The princess and her bitter queen On the fourth day of July Deep in Summer's eye Naked like the truth should always be
[Verse 2] This false art (Of palm trees and trash heaps) This burning bed (Where my ghost will now sleep)
[Pre-Chorus] Watching romance from a far seat Bleeding from the glass on my feet Learning that I love the smell of flesh
[Chorus] And it's four AM and we will stalk again The princess and her bitter queen On the fourth day of July Deep in Summer's eye Naked like the truth should always be
[Bridge] An angel on his two knees Arms stretched towards the red sea Of violence and a sultry tongue The scenic view of carnage Caused by the sword in his hands The beauty resonates in birth It's plain to see the wind beneath the trees Flowing free, the summer breeze is sweet I lay in space choked by my own air I love the taste of your blackened lips
[Chorus] And it's four AM and we will stalk again The princess and her bitter queen On the fourth day of July Deep in Summer's eye Naked like the truth should always be
