You Were There

Quite still of this moment Smoke in my eyes Smoke in your eyes Lovely speeches Lovely in my dress You were there You were there [ Zero ] One and two man I gotta find a meaning, to the numbers That be hindering me inside of my slumber Thinkin’ about all I’ve seen and memories of recovering Something so deep and lost and it’s dead to me A friend to me, as I recall the girls name was Emily A strange young girl I met when I was only 17 She used to draw pictures all in ones and twos Yo, and they were so beautiful and black and blue Her end was coming soon and she described A premonition at the time I perceived as a lie I was only 17 I had no concept of fate But the lesson of faith was one I could not escape So one night, she took the elevator up to level 12 At 1:20 AM the cables snapped and she fell I seen it all and heard her scream until she hit the ground The body found mangled when I dream I’m hearing this sound Quite still of this moment Smoke in my eyes Smoke in your eyes Lovely speeches Lovely in my dress You were there You were there [ Shakelous ] November 22nd, 1999 Was the first time I felt her in the shadow of the night She was right there, pushed me down a flight of my stairs So beautiful, filled with hate in her stare Her name was Kate, or so my little brother kept saying Mentally handicapped alone in his room just playing And he saw her every night two years since that day So my mom packed our shit and had to move us away That house was evil, the things that my family all went through Warped my mental comprehension forced me to believe in devils Reveled in these thoughts, spirits are all here among us With nefarious intentions and abilities to harm us Fast forward to the day Sean died I’m in the hospital Sedated, evaluated, and bound its impossible To believe what I see the two of them are arm-in-arm As the lights go out 11:22 on the clock, what the fuck? Quite still of this moment Smoke in my eyes Smoke in your eyes Lovely speeches Lovely in my dress You were there You were there [ Lo Key ] Hey yo I wake up and all of my walls are covered in Ones and twos and threes and scribblings that I cannot read I close my eyes and dream about the horrible things And when I wake up the walls are clean Was it just a fucking nightmare causing me to lose it? I can feel her standing right there underneath the moon And did I really wake up? or was it just a premonition Of a bitch that I murdered turned into an apparition? Roam the halls ways, smoking all day Ghostly calls I hear her whisper softly to come back She sits ovetop a quiji board Crying and asking why I had to leave and what’s the reason for? Tear drops fall evaporate before they hit the floor Candles flare up and everything is brighter than before I see it now there is no where to run or hide Because I’m trapped in the house, I’m the one that died… Quite still of this moment Smoke in my eyes Smoke in your eyes Lovely speeches Lovely in my dress You were there You were there
