Nocturno Hayes

Lyrics

(Words & Music by: Anthony J. Maldonado)

Empty fields of grass
Absolutely nothing lasts
Fading voices, distant sounds
People falling to the ground.

The initial acquisition
Of an ugly disposition
An obsession with starvation
Inside a heart with no motivation.

The shadow and his guitar stand
Looking for the color in her eyes
The eyes of hollow trees
Searching for the ashes of humanity.

So slip inside my plastic soul
Burn the words getting in the way.
Help me find a purple lampshade,
Burn the people getting in your way.
Light the road I walk for me,
Burn the words getting in the way.
Feel the violet breath coming out as I speak
Help me find some color today.

Phone call late at night
Is everything alright?
Wounds and tears of concern
Watch the paper burn.

See how the memories hurt
See me crawling in the dirt
Tides rolling in then away
Bringing colors here today.

Tulip melting like wax
Watch me wither and relax
Or light a flame inside of me
Try to burn the candles of humanity.

See how you slip inside my rubber soul
And burn the problems getting in the way.
See how you've erased the darkness and cold
See the colors shift and melt away.
Walk the road I see for me
Burn the thoughts getting in your way.
See the violet breath coming out from me,
Share your aqua with me and stay.

People living in pain
Trying to stay out of the rain
Shifting patterns, visions of truth
Lifting up the ashes of humanity.

My violet breath is alone with me too.
