Ultra Violent

I got a glance of the other side I saw it through a veil I got a glance of the other side But my vision it was grey and pale Wasn’t sure if I was dreaming Didn’t know if it was real Couldn’t hear the monsters screaming For the air was made of steel Despite all pretence and excuses I didn’t come with a clean slate Didn’t feel the cuts and bruises Until it was too late (Oh no too late) Didn’t like what I was seeing Didn’t see what you’d expect Wasn’t sure about the meaning Wasn’t wiser after the fact That it was so bright and painful to my eyes I was so hesitant What I saw there was without a single precedent (Oh yeah) Ultra violent I got a glance of the other side A prism on the wall I got a glance of the other side I was counting while I took the fall (I’m still falling) And my edges started fraying My habits would change on a dime I could feel an aura swaying In a mosaic of broken time I tried to hold on to my lifelines I made confessions to the dark Blind to what the heart confines On a journey we embark (Oh no too late) Didn’t like what I was seeing Didn’t see what you’d expect Wasn’t sure about the meaning Wasn’t wiser after the fact That it was so bright and painful to my eyes I was so hesitant What I saw there was Without a single precedent Ultra violent There was this shocking hint of colors So much hotter than all summers In my head a thousand drummers And I sensed (Oh oh oh) It was ul-tra-violent (Ultra violent) I got a glance of the other side I got a glance of the other side (oho) I got a glance of the other side I got a glance of the other side (oho) It’s ultra violent Now I’m floating on like dead leaves in a gutter The grim coldness it is giving me a shudder The firmament is raven black Rusty knives hang from the sky Lost words are ready to attack I feel red eyes that pry A cavern full of light Ten thousand miles below My waking hours in the night Still I couldn’t let you go But the rest of the time Was mine Didn’t like what I was seeing Didn’t see what you’d expect Wasn’t sure about the meaning Wasn’t wiser after the fact That It was so bright and painful to my eyes I was so hesitant What I saw there was Without a single precedent Ultra violent There was this shocking hint of colors So much hotter than all summers In my head a thousand drummers And I sensed It was ultraviolent Ultra violent I got a glance of the other side Ultra violent It was loud and it was mine It was mine It was mine It was mine Mine
