Change unto change, I've lost a friend
spread my body thin- onto life's edge
drama and periphery- bad things so dear to me
think I ought to get out of bed- think I oughta get out of my head
I hate the white walls, I'm a spectral mix
you can't pin down my supernatural bliss
I'm in disbelief of everybody, and most of all myself
amused (excused) by my friends but the reference is pressing a tongue onto teeth's shelf
but I am Oregon, I am no one
foam and mourning flowers, I'm Summer's snowman
and I am lifted, you, my love, are so gifted because you know
run that brush against my plate, cathartic in the cold water
I am grateful for the earth's quake
I could be so gone, I could be so gone
but I am Oregon, I am no one
foam and morning flowers, I'm Summer's snowman
I am lifted, and you are so gifted because you know
that I am Oregon, I am no one
foam and morning flowers, I'm Summer's snowman
I am lifted, and you are so gifted because you know

first thing that i knew when i walked into that room was scarlet
and it all faded to blue, but really i knew it was scarlet
and my eyes went to sleep just like a weakness
i was given up on by scarlet
and the vampires in my mind, they drank blood red scarlet
i was 100 things but myself
oh, the beauty and the elegance would make you laugh
two hundred and sixty five days in the bath
and we all look like roman ruins
first day from the crib, i wore scarlet (she wore scarlet)
gave myself attention just like you should
and i bartered with my city, you see it laughs at me
complacent in the wind, but it- but it- but it
it never wore red on a holiday no it never wore red on a holiday
you never wore red on a holiday, no you never wore red on a holiday
if im mismatched in my company then get this thing away from me
i've been standing by myself in this hole too long, this hole too long
and if im mismatched in my company then get this thing away from me
i've been standing by myself in this hole....
first thing that i knew when i walked into that room was scarlet
and it all faded to blue but really i knew it was scarlet
and my eyes
if my eyes went to sleep like a weakness
I was given up on by scarlet
