Heard This Noise

How can I smile while the vampires sing?

I must confess, sometimes

I live up in a tree

Blessed by a ghost with an open arm

And a steady hand for redemption

I forget that winter comes with a deadline

And then she's gone

Cold air cage opened up

Resurrected dark angels

And the conversation gets placed

Once again, underneath my brain

And up in front of my mouth

Technology, well, she takes a walk

And she's so proud

The catalysts include a microphone

And a highway of wires

Misused and taken for granted

How can I smile while the vampires sing?

I must confess, sometimes,

I live (and dream)

Blessed by a ghost with an open arm

And a steady hand for redemption
