lyrics

You are...Noir, Black Star cannonball - 
Through the night sky, let the light shine infinite
You know the saying if the shoe fits
You wear it, and if it doesn't grin and bear it 
Even if it isn't fair you begin to swear it isn't bout the destination but about the dedication to yourself
Lifestyles of the rich and famous doesn't help
Even then you think about the shelf full of dreams

Then You wake in a bath full of ice 
Nightmarish marks rest above your eyes 
You fool...is it so terrible
That every day is inheritable
And charitable when you compare it to 
The missing pieces to the puzzle that is you
Every clue contingent on the glue 
That holds you 
Who knows who the glove fits 
Because it ain't the crime you commit
But the lines you submit
And the minds that you lift

You are...Noir

You are..noir ain't too hard 
To envision friendly flirts making you fall
Lay in wait captive behind a few bars
Until you turn that stone over you are
Too far to rescue yes you too are..

Noir...you are...lost and
Noir...you are...caught and
Noir...you are...
Locked in a nightmare everything is right there
Take it, grab it, seize it, for yourself
When you need it you don't hesitate to leave it on the shelf
What is a dream, is it a puzzle?
What is a stream, is it a puddle of rain drops
They hit you the pain stops
You thinking you can't drop
Forgot what it means to be noir
Life ain't what it seems now you see that you are

Too far to fake it 
You are the naked 
True art the sacred
Noir the hated 
You are the naked 
True art the sacred
Noir the hated.
