Translating the Name Songtext

"Translating The Name"

Started saving green and before breathing
I have your voice on tape in a southern accent screaming at me
I was only one and we weren't prepared for one
(I have your voice on tape in a southern accent screaming at me)
So we started saving green before breathing

Know things look lovely to you
Holding back, now and forever sweetheart
Know things look lovely
Lonely boy, it's midnight and I'll deny
You were walking so peculiar like you had something to hide (still so deadly) [x2]
Sweet penance for this sound- it might explode in our hands

Bordered in a brown pigmentation were
The element lines cut short, turned in and stopped
I was watching rose give in and that's when I started savoring the sound
I was watching rose give in to it severing the ties between mother and son [x2]

Know things look lovely to you
Holding back, now and forever sweetheart
Know things look lovely
Lonely boy, it's midnight and I'll deny
You were walking so peculiar like you had something to hide (still so deadly) [x2]
Sweet penance for this sound- it might explode in our hand (it might explode) [x2]

I once saw many places, I promised the world and a dozen roses. [x2]
