You Were There

Quite still of this moment
Smoke in my eyes
Smoke in your eyes
Lovely speeches
Lovely in my dress
You were there
You were there

[ Zero ]

One and two man I gotta find a meaning, to the numbers
That be hindering me inside of my slumber
Thinkin’ about all I’ve seen and memories of recovering
Something so deep and lost and it’s dead to me

A friend to me, as I recall the girls name was Emily
A strange young girl I met when I was only 17
She used to draw pictures all in ones and twos
Yo, and they were so beautiful and black and blue

Her end was coming soon and she described
A premonition at the time I perceived as a lie
I was only 17 I had no concept of fate
But the lesson of faith was one I could not escape

So one night, she took the elevator up to level 12
At 1:20 AM the cables snapped and she fell
I seen it all and heard her scream until she hit the ground
The body found mangled when I dream I’m hearing this sound

Quite still of this moment
Smoke in my eyes
Smoke in your eyes
Lovely speeches
Lovely in my dress
You were there
You were there

November 22nd, 1999
Was the first time I felt her in the shadow of the night
She was right there, pushed me down a flight of my stairs
So beautiful, filled with hate in her stare

Her name was Kate, or so my little brother kept saying
Mentally handicapped alone in his room just playing
And he saw her every night two years since that day
So my mom packed our shit and had to move us away

That house was evil, the things that my family all went through
Warped my mental comprehension forced me to believe in devils
Reveled in these thoughts, spirits are all here among us
With nefarious intentions and abilities to harm us

Fast forward to the day Sean died I’m in the hospital
Sedated, evaluated, and bound its impossible
To believe what I see the two of them are arm-in-arm
As the lights go out 11:22 on the clock, what the fuck?

Quite still of this moment
Smoke in my eyes
Smoke in your eyes
Lovely speeches
Lovely in my dress
You were there
You were there

[ Lo Key ]

Hey yo I wake up and all of my walls are covered in
Ones and twos and threes and scribblings that I cannot read
I close my eyes and dream about the horrible things
And when I wake up the walls are clean

Was it just a fucking nightmare causing me to lose it?
I can feel her standing right there underneath the moon
And did I really wake up? or was it just a premonition
Of a bitch that I murdered turned into an apparition?

Roam the halls ways, smoking all day
Ghostly calls I hear her whisper softly to come back
She sits ovetop a quiji board
Crying and asking why I had to leave and what’s the reason for?

Tear drops fall evaporate before they hit the floor
Candles flare up and everything is brighter than before
I see it now there is no where to run or hide
Because I’m trapped in the house, I’m the one that died…

Quite still of this moment
Smoke in my eyes
Smoke in your eyes
Lovely speeches
Lovely in my dress
You were there
You were there
