You try and reconcile the,
Seraphims and demons,
Mephistopheles and Mother Teresa,
And oh you seize the day.
Don't be afraid to straddle,
The angels and the shadows,
Do away with sorrow,
And you'll see tomorrow someday.
But it’s hell to dwell,
But it’s hell to dwell,
But it’s hell to dwell,
I know.
But it’s hell to dwell,
And only time will tell,
Because it’s hell to dwell,
I know.
You try and reconcile the,
Seraphims and demons,
Mephistopheles and Mother Teresa,
And oh you seize the day.
But you were born a shadow,
The angels in the shallows,
Do away with sorrow,
And you'll see tomorrow someday.
But it’s hell to dwell
But it’s hell to dwell
But it’s hell to dwell
I know
But it’s hell to dwell
Between heaven and hell
Only time will tell I know
Riverside
When we sit together by the riverside,
I can’t help but have my smile grow wide.
Scared to touch you afraid you might break,
Transcendental girl, William Blake.
I'm singing oh, girl chase the rainbow,
so you may find that pot of gold.
Don't you know you have to find your own flow,
And everybody else might follow.
When we sit together by the riverside,
When we sit together by the riverside,
Alright.
I don't know you, you don't know me,
So I'm burning, at full capacity.
Well you can be a bitch, I can be a creep,
You can cut my hair, I don't fucking care.
I don't like the way your eyes stare into mine.
Just because I'm like you doesn't mean I like you.
Rewind the hands of time,
Back to when we sat together,
By the riverside.
