When I returned 
You buried my last two weeks
My last two weeks 
Of my new times 

So it didn't seem like 
A wasted mouthful
A wasted mouthful
Because of a trip 
That was trapped inside you

I was trapped inside you
And always imagined 
That I could 
I always imagined 
Imagined I would 

Conjure you up 
Conjure you up 
So it didn't seem like
It didn't seem like

I was conditioned 
I was conditioned about that 
So it didn't seem like
A wasted mouthful 

Am I untruthful 
Am I untruthful 
As a result of being
Maybe 
Maybe it was too soon

The red rose
I liken it to the flicker of the pure
Fleeting moments 
Precede our actions

Light that's not burning
Light that's not burning 
No more lost sinking feeling 
Tethered to your shoe
Tethered to you 

We ask the controller 
He sends us flames
Our lying bodies sleep 
His whispered word says 
Ah this is how 

This is how it looks
From where we weep
Tethered to red rose 
Tethered to your shoe

To the seven of cups
Tethered to you
