about

This was the last song written for the album. Jake and Devon locked themselves in a room while Bryce and Alex watched the Canucks game. Later one, they had written this. Original lyrics they had done as a joke included: 'WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA' and 'the only time that batman cries'.

lyrics

Soft sighs. Two different colors of eyes. In the dark, the sparks ignite, and you are alive. Come to life now. My Queen wears her crown. She is so loud. Come down now. The king wears his crown. He is so proud. You are my pinnacle and everything. I have heard the angels sing. I have made you weak and I would do it again. Where you end is my beginning. I control what you are feeling. I have made you weak and I would do it again. Speak in tongues. Writing poetry in silence. Speak in tongues. We are an island. I’m addicted to violence. She’s come to life now. My queen wears her crown. She is so loud. But her screams are drowned out. Come down now. king wears his crown. He is too strong.He is too proud. I’m afraid that I’ve lost my mind, there’s no life left in your eyes. I’m an addict to the sounds you make when you struggle to breathe, these ropes that make sure you could never get free, wake up please. I fear that I regret nothing and that I would do it again. I should never be left in the dark with a life in my hands. I don’t know my own strength. I would stop if I knew how. she’s not breathing now. she’s not breathing now.
