Pyramids Songtext
von Nardean

It′s a killer we're alive
In this beautiful world
All the things that we′ve heard
They are making you and I
Forget who we really are
We're just searching for the stars

Midnight, sit tight, minutes 'til you′re off
Once you′re done, untangle the bangles cuffed to your wrists

Unstrangle your vocal chords and hope for more, hope for more
Your identity forged from malice
You challenge them chalices, then swallow tablets
Or sniff and hope for magic
Down in an abyss, insist on just one more
Drown yourself in bliss while he licks your open sores

So get fucked up, keep numbing, succumbing
And I know you hope that when you close your eyes you'll see stars


(Galaxies afar)
They′re like tiny cubed mirrors, shiny new slivers of you
Up to four at a time in one room
Reflections, projections, apparently
Inherently valued by your currency
Currently you were two cotton cups bottoms up

Cutting love off, clutching crutches and drug cocktails
Conducive to conducting confusion, delusion
Intrusion into your personal space
An orbital pace away from knowing your boundaries

It's a killer we′re alive (We're alive)
In this beautiful world (In this beautiful world)
All the things that we′ve heard (And the stories they told us)
They are making you and I (You and I)
Forget who we really are (Forget who we really are)
We're just searching for the stars (And we're searching)

She said she′s sober three months now, she put the blunts down

She looks so hollow, she floated, she couldn′t ever come down

She did things for money she wouldn't have done for free now

And she was just hoping that someone would come and set her free now


Self image contorted, distorted
We tell our daughters "But you′ll never do it yourself
Get with him so he helps, make sure you never tell him
When it's hurting, make sure you get your fleek on, keep on flirting
′Cause you cannot ever be more than we tell you, no
And you cannot ever have less than we sell you"
I tried to save her, I tried to save her, but she was just a mirror
My own eyelids heavy with shadow, I couldn't see clearer
My lips stuck with lipstick, my message so cryptic
That even I missed it

We bought the chains for our own wrists
We called them bracelets

We bought the chains for our own wrists
We called them bracelets

It′s a killer we're alive
In this beautiful world
All the things that we've heard
They are making you and I
Forget who we really are
We′re just searching for the stars

Searching for the stars
We′re just searching for the stars
Searching for the stars
We're just searching for the stars
Searching for the stars
We′re just searching for the stars
Searching for the stars
We're just searching for the stars (Yeah, we call them bracelets)
