Eldest 11 - Deep Blue lyrics

Faster than the speed of light
My choices are crossroads
I want to feel my feet in the earth
Give me ground my sweet war
I'll paint my face and steady my nerves
Close my eyes and think of good times

Footprints here today, washed away tomorrow
I am a hungry ghost
But the past is hard to swallow

Far from heaven
Where I stand my head is full of bad things
So keep your pocket full of rainbows
I don't need another notch in my bedpost
I'm on auto-pilot with my eyes closed
Waiting in the ebb and flows
The things you don't need to
Know I still know
Give me ground (I paint my face) my sweet war

Footprints here today, washed away tomorrow
I am a hungry ghost
But the past is hard to swallow

(So I paint my face) Only shadows remain
(Like the old ways) BITE DOWN HARD!
Learn to bury your heart tO LEAVE YOUR MARK!
(So I paint my face)
You can't dream your troubles away
Realize things change (I need my war paint)
Give me my war paint
You get old too soon and wise too late
Look at me now!
Look at me now, I got nothing to prove!
Where are the Heroes of my youth?
They're fading like the years I've abused

I am Jekyll and Hyde
I am the thing you fear the most
I carry the deep blue inside

I carry the deep blue inside

(So I paint my face) Only shadows remain
(Like the old ways) BITE DOWN HARD!
Learn to bury your heart tO LEAVE YOUR MARK!
(So I paint my face)
You can't dream your troubles away
Realize things change give me my war paint
(Empty your heart) so leave your mark!
(So I paint my face)
You can't dream your troubles away
Realize things change (I need my war paint)
Give me my war paint
You get old too soon and wise too late
Look at me now!
Look at me now, I got nothing to prove!
Where are the Heroes of my youth?
They're fading like the years I've abused

I am Jekyll and Hyde
I am the thing you fear the most
I carry the deep blue inside

I carry the deep blue inside
