the sunset kings - rose-tinted raybans lyrics

[verse 1]
nights: heaven fell on the snow dipped concrete
sweet summer memories a thing of the past
you never know it til the last d+mn moment
you never know it til the whole thing crashes
and i can see it like a film strip catching
fire on screen like a hollywood thriller
director took his liberties with the script and you
countdown from peaks of your highest climax
l+st after love like a golden chalice
get to the gates with your heartbeat calloused

[chorus]
try not to think too much about it
imagination is a canvas
too many blues are in this palette, so i’ll
put on my rose+tinted raybans
and let my fingers do the talking

[verse 2]
true colors bleeding on the stage while you’re dancing
a crashing comet come to earth wreaking havoc
the neon lights get them close enough to pluck you
right from the sky into glass case bedrooms
and all the while i’m standing by at the coatcheck
wrapping myself in a camouflage bomber
biding my time while the denouement unravels
riding your horses to your highest climax
l+st after love like a golden chalice
get to the gates with your heartbeat calloused

[chorus]
try not to think too much about it
imagination is a canvas
too many blues are in this palette, so i’ll
put on my rose+tinted raybans
and let my fingers do the talking

[guitar solo]

[chorus]
try not to think too much about it
imagination is a canvas
too many blues are in this palette, so i’ll
put on my rose+tinted raybans
and let my fingers do the talking

[poem]
i wanted to be in a place all my own
surrounded by far reaching symbolic
facets of home like breakfast conversation
humming in the bathroom, my name
in her voice: sweet songs in our mother tongue
instead i got to know you, the leaves
on the kitchen floor blowing in through
open windows, cold winter car rides
from midnight til sunrise i was
deep looking in your eyes and i saw
manifest destiny, burdening the love
that was there
we were destined to fall apart;
all a part of the bigger picture
you missed out on one moment before so you
started fishing for one that you’d be ready for
every time wishing you’d studied more
worked to actively demystify the mystique
of your femininity, the one that
made you infinity yourself to me. this is
magnetized attraction, unauthorized
passion in action, you flashed
before my eyes, embodied
brazilian rhythm with the scent
of your sighs, the mint on your
breath like intent
staining the air. the same way
words get caught in our hair
and ideas seep into our skin
then stay there, tainting the fairness
of it all. we are a heat
seeking affair, missing
the mark by mere millimeters
hitting dead spots, careening
into distant crevices our minds
could not imagine, abandoned
where nothing but the void exists
staring down from impossible
heights and saying this
is love
