The Smashing Pumpkins - Cyr Lyrics






The Colour Of Love

Whomever wants you alone
Whomever wants you atones
It's with this prayer I've sewn
Whomever wants you alone

(Color of your love)
And the color of your love is gray
(Color of your love)
And the color of your love is gray
(Color of your love)
And the color of your love is gray
A vast amount of the time slipped away
A vast amount of the time slipped away

I gave you all and always have (and always)
I gave you all as always asked (as always)
As pieces of gain fall from grasp
Whomever asks for more than that
I can't behold to

(Color of your love)
And the color of your love is gray
(Color of your love)
And the color of your love is gray
(Color of your love)
And the color of your love is gray
A vast amount of the time slipped away
A vast amount of the time slipped away

(Color of your love)
And the color of your love is gray
(Color of your love)
And the color of your love is gray
(Color of your love)
And the color of your love is gray
A vast amount of the time slipped away

Confessions Of A Dopamine Addict

Love is easy, whichever way you start
Take a diamond, slice it through your heart
And watch what color bleeds
Tasked which sweetness, decimation stings
For inamorata and swan-like sway
For valentine and twinning flame
On whiff of pain and cross
Your cedar burns, aflame

I'm down for bewitching trains and cursed hour
Masts blacked as windswept, horizons ever sour
If it takes more to find you
Than setting out a faded sun

Can you feel the same?
Do the stars inked on my face state what's changed?
With a distance I can't make
From a distance I can't make

For tango-smith and cantor camoused
For anguished scrive and maelstrom mouse
On scent of pain and cross
Your cedar burns, aflame at loss

Can you feel the same?
Do the stars inked on my face state what's changed?
With a distance I can't make
From a distance I can't make

I'm down for bewitching trains and cursed hour
Masts blacked as windswept, horizons ever sour
If it takes more to find you
Than setting out a faded sun

Love is easy, whichever way you start
Take a diamond, slice it through your heart
Can you feel the same?
Do the stars inked on my face state what's changed?
With a distance I can't make
From a distance I can't make

Cyr

Fragments form the minds
Shadows hold the mist
Fractured as this wish

Shattered I resign
We're on the verge, we're on the verge
Of sacred dawning and sloe-sloe eyes

Say, I done told you (ah)
Say how I tried, too
Where you've wrought from creation's crown

Say, dire warning
Stare down your masters
With the promise of one and what you are
We're on the verge

Tangents vex the whorl
The void arrives, then leaves
Returning, returning a kiss
For lovers built the dream

Say, I done told you
Say how I tried, too
Where you've wrought from creation's crown

Say, dire warning
Stare down your masters
With the promise of one and what you are
We're on the verge

Did the times, wind
Did the crowd, kind
Aping youth, wise
Ever lost, ides
'Midst the chaff, as meek
And those weak, as sand
Turning glass upside down
For the hours should they pass

Say, I done told you
Say how I tried, too (ah)
Where you've wrought (where you've wrought, where you've wrought)
From creation's crown (ah ah)
We're on the verge

Say, dire warning
Stare down your masters
With the promise of one and what you are (what you are, what you are)
We're on the verge

We're on the verge
We're on the verge
We're on the verge

Dulcet In E

From a tree swings an apple
A pear or a candle
That once caught captive of your love
Is asked by dear time to sway
Is asked by dear time to sway

Never held, the memory unto
Our edifice as serves you
Is singly rhapsody and koan
Where a heart like mine belongs
Where a heart like mine belongs

No flower outlives its raindrop
No tower outlives its hilltop
I'm necromancer and your balm
Is it hearth of silent knowledge
From fount of easy bondage
I'm never more than you could want
Where a heart like mine belongs
Where a heart like mine belongs
Yes, where a heart like mine belongs

From a tree, swings an apple
A pear or a candle
That once caught is captive of your love
From our tree swings an apple
A pear or a candle
That once caught is captive of your love

No flower outlives its raindrop
No tower outlives its hilltop
I'm necromancer and your balm
Where a heart like mine belongs
Where a heart like mine belongs
Yes, where a heart like mine belongs

Wrath

If there's heaven
There's a place for us
There's a teenage dream
And my love's enough
But when I break into sapphires
I've cost you more than myself
I've no more strength than Ulysses
I've no more stay than the night bird's call

Cold, the mornings lie awake
Not so afraid, but droll
Cold, receding
Cold, prevailing
Cold, preceding
One dark road to go

If there's heaven
There's a wrath so just
Near the kiln that roars
Into love, like dusk
But when I break, I stay broken
I'd sooner avenge my daughter's breath
But I've no more strength than the watchman
And I've no more luck than circe's jest

Cold, the mornings lie awake
Not so afraid, but droll
Cold, receding
Cold, prevailing
Cold, preceding
One dark road to go

(To go, to go)
Go where you'd know (you know, you know)
Set where you'd fight
On one dark road
Go (go, go)
Go where you'd know (you know, you know)
Set where you'd fight
On one dark road

Cold, the mornings rouse awake
Not so afraid, but cold
It's read, the unknowns ebb away
If I asked, wait
Would you know?
Cold

Ramona

I should wander
Yet I shaln't gander far
Beyond her spells enchant

As red made roses
As red made crimson morns
Black makes my blood char

I know I'm ruthless
Ain't the kind to see
I know I'm ruthless sigh

Ramona, Ramona, Ramona
Storms with thee
Ramona, ain't it just like our dreams?

Ramona, Ramona, Ramona
You with me
Ramona, let's not say we're bound

I know I'm ruthless
Ain't the kind to free

I've been riding high
I've been riding stone alone
Right out of my mind

Ooh, the incantations of
The souls she's torched to dust
By hex that had no stage
Of all the evidence
Of all I've ever been
Was some innocence to where I belonged
By the elements I've been roaming too long

I know I'm ruthless
Ain't the kind to plead

Ramona, Ramona, Ramona
Storms with thee
Ramona, ain't it just like our dreams?

Ramona, Ramona, Ramona
You with me
Ramona, let's not say we're bound

Ramona, Ramona, Ramona
Deliver thee
Ramona, ain't it like I dreamed?

Ramona, Ramona, Ramona
You with me
Ramona, Ramona please

Anno Satana

Oh, did you know I'm a wanted man?
Steeped in black, where the sun won't pass
I never needed anyone, no
I never needed anyone, no

Young hearts must flame
Hell must roil
And feeling this all ends all surrounds you
It's I who admits here lying in waves

Lord knows, I've been gunning fast, oh
I'm seven-six, low on fancy blood
I never needed anyone, no
I never needed anyone, no

Saturn curdle sleep
Death will change your heart
And feeling this all ends all surrounds you
It's I who admits here lying in waves

Strike Earth, cry name
Rend sulfur to sage
I'm feeling this all ends all that surrounds you

Here it comes, here comes the wanted man
So step back, where the words don't last
I never needed anyone, no
I never needed anyone, no, no, no

Young hearts will change
Hell will have its roil
And feeling this all ends all surrounds you
It's I who admits here lying in waves

Birch Grove

I foreseen a time without me
So not unlike the trees
I've stood for so long
So long

Shading life inside the falling rain
All alone, in love with age and someone
Someone else
Sundays come and Sundays flee
Sundays wed, won't you stand with me?
Not someone
Not someone else

My seedlings grow and grow
And home is whatever ground they hold

Shading life inside the falling rain
All alone, in love with age and someone
Someone else
But I've grown stronger
As someone
As someone, as someone else

Shading life inside the falling rain
All alone, in love with age and someone
Someone else
Sundays come and Sundays flee
Sundays wed, won't you stand with me?
Not someone
Not someone else

As my seedlings grow, and grow
Towards someone
Towards someone else

The birch grove stands for us

Under mask, I am stars
Love, lie with thee

Take my hand, vex moonlight
Midheaven wanes

Black turns confessor, turns to reap

Start the wheels of Helios
Strike up the lantern
Singe forth, darkest peace
We'll follow under

Awaken spirits in thy breath
Love, lie with thee

Samhain, Samhain
Gifting apples that I'd spoilt
To Hallowmass

Starrcraft

This rock of ages
This rock of war
And the day you left forevermore
(Ha ha, yeah, yeah)

Stars, they're drilling stars
Our eyes afire for God
We do what we want 'til we want just one more life
We do what we want 'til we want to survive

Say you hate me
Say you'd mark my grave
Swear religion has no spectral race
Chase me under
Right back where I sang
To brace new vision and decay in chains
(Ha ha, yeah, yeah)
(Ha ha, yeah, yeah)

All hail the blackest nights
The blackest night I'd find
All hail the blackest night
Blinding me with sight

This rock of ages
Lamplighters all
And the day you crept through the fog of home

Stars, they're drilling stars
Our eyes, our eyes afire for God
We do what we want 'til we want just one more fight
We do what we want 'til we want to survive

Say you hate me
Say you'd mark my grave
Swear religion has no spectral race
Chase me under
Right back where I sang
To brace new vision and decay in chains
(Ha ha, yeah, yeah)
(Ha ha, yeah, yeah)

All hail the blackest nights
The blackest night I'd find
All hail the blackest night
Blinding me with sights

I'll rock your minds
I'll rock your mind
From Milky Way to Mersey Quay
To mystic climes
Leave it all behind
Rock island lines
I'll rock your mind

Purple Blood

I'm in love with your God

I'm in love with your fear

By the touch of your hand

I'm far from here



Oh, for sunny days

When life was flat embrace

And might love come what may



Shot to ground, set it off

Like your phoenix, I will fly

From dread dawns to sky

I'm in love with your God, ooh



Fever by your side

Sun is so you cannot rise

Fever by your side

Sun is so you cannot rise



I'm in love with your God

I'm in love with said fear

By the blush of your thorn

I'm lost but near



But oh, for sunny days



Shot to ground, set it off

Like your phoenix, I will fly

From dread dawns to sky

I'm in love with your God, ooh

I'm in love with your God, ooh



Fever by your side

Sun is so you cannot rise

Fever by your side

Sun is so you cannot rise

Hunger greets far fleece

So solace, thunder agony

A fever by your side

Sun is so you cannot rise

Hauntings and bellwethers
Not always, but forevers
I'll tell you why, I'll tell you why
I am your spy

Yes, I'll tell you

Swoon
Swoon in spirals phased
Swoon in chorused grays
Won't you go?
Won't you freeze?
Please although
You're asked to still
Swoon in somber haze
Swoon by haste

Replays and now downwards
Flailings ain't no westwards
Two eves have I, two eves have I
I am your spy

Yes, I'll tell you

Swoon in spirals phased
Swoon in chorused grays (chorused grays)
Won't you go?

You're asked to swoon
Swoon by devilment

Let it linger on
Like candy floss (ooh)
Or loss unswept
Swoon, swoon
Swoon, swoon (ooh ah)

Telegenix

She takes the sweet outside
She takes the sweet outside
The sooner I fight, the sooner I mind, the sooner I mind
A cradle to the tears
The sooner I fight, the sooner I mind, the sooner I mind
She takes the sweet outside
To part our grand demise

If they say it's not suicide
If they say it's not suicide

Then I will bet on your life
From sodden vale and hell's divide
That wind says rain
As blossoms fell for live TV
The ghosts we slay come ours to reap
Upending what's land's end
If they say it's not suicide, then what is
At the bottom of a boot black sea?

She cools at the flame
She cools at the flame
The sooner I mind, the sooner I fight, the sooner I fight
Chanting our device
The sooner I mind, the sooner I fight, the sooner I fight

Where nothin' real settles in
As televised, a covenant
The bereft are blown cathodes
And the blame strafes every zone
In fever dreams, in blood shot odes
The skies never seemed so far

If they say it's not suicide
If they say it's not suicide
If they say it's not suicide
To the fall of gods at peace
If I'd leave here, you're first at least
You're why I fought
And I will bet on your life
From sodden vale and hell's divide
You're why I fought

If they say it's not suicide
And what is?

Black Forest Black Hills

With the noise that brought you
Paladin and dare
To gouge, bellwether
That which can't be shared
Crow by crow
And stone by stone, we flowed
From hidden spring to cold (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
There ain't but cold (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Unto which I've flown, sweet fold (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Longing just to belong

Delivered as forgiven

The odds by faith, unfair

And stone by stone, we flowed
From hidden shoal to cold (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Adrennalynne

I'm taut inside the moment, moments
I never aim for reasons, reasons
And so despite true meanings, meanings
I can't feel for anything
And I won't speak on what I mean
Come ask for why
Or I shalln't but steal of you
Surrender takes a form with thee
Come ask for why
Come ask for why

When you're on the stage
When you feel the eyes fall to you
Make no mistake or find
When you're on the stage
There isn't blood to squander
When you're on the stage, you'll find
When you're on the stage, that's life
When you're on the stage, that's life

I'm taut inside the movement, movement
A jake of which there's no door, no door
A fear of which there's no floor, no floor
These lives aren't real for anyone
These riffs don't mean shit but what I want
Come ask for why
'Cause hearts like bombs can't belong
Surrender, please and please no more
Come ask for why
Come ask for why

When you're on the stage
When you feel the eyes fall to you
Make no mistake or find
When you're on the stage
There isn't blood to squander
When you're on the stage, you'll find
When you're on the stage, that's life
When you're on the stage, that's life
When you're on the stage
When you feel the eyes fall to you
Make no mistake, that's life

Haunted

Along the banks of rivers Zion
Sang a fallen and forsworn
The chain
Of human rage
And let between an ocean rain
And lambs so led, I stayed

If this be life, our evening's prayer
Or death's denouement
A thorned idyll that's offered no one
And I've stood for no one
And father, I'm nowhere
I'm no closer to your throne

Swirling forth, the sea conscripted
Each, the dead and nursery rhyme
At voice
A trailing drone
And baptized by the breath of pain
I crossed heart's knave and swore

If this be life, our evening's prayer
Or death's denouement
A thorned idyll that's offered no one
And I've stood for no one
And father, I'm nowhere
I'm no closer to your throne

Swirling forth (swirling)
The dead end nursery rhyme

If this be life, our evening's prayer
Or death's denouement
A thorned idyll that's offered no one
And I've stood for no one
And father, I'm nowhere
I'm no closer to your throne

Pacific glass, these gifts rend senseless
And knell, repentless
The auger of the cosmic traveler
As God's own straggler
Who's vowed, unopposed
To embody word and shore

Schaudenfreud

Like the lion, I will track our rulers
Into the cracks of this earth
'Twixt the field and the foal, unaided
Yet spun with the toil of an oath

Three days unknown, two days agone
I'll guest more than guide
Isidore was right

Forgotten, familiar
Find your light
Fain autumns, winter side
Find your light, find your light
Mark the hurt, mark the face
Mark the dirt of cloven graves
Find your light
Forgotten, familiar
Find your light

As the bull on the wheel, I follow
Stubborn, with downcast eyes
'Round the hills of our Lord and hollows
In sacrifice of His own

Three days unknown, two days agone
I'm shadow more than guide
Isidore was right

Forgotten, familiar
Find your light
Fain autumns, winter side
Find your light, find your light
Mark the coil, mark the reed
Mark the piper, go to sleep
