NJ Falls into the Atlantic Lyrics

[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
