lyrics
Spoken Word:
"...The overthinking; I feel the sadness crawling throughout my skin, sucking out the very happiness I had, the happiness you created. I remember the days where the sun would shine upon my face, but I was oblivious to its everlasting burn, where orange turned to red, and white turned to black. I thought that you would be a light for me; a guide that would lead to peace and joy, and unbelievable ecstasy. But surely, these emotions will never be reflected towards me. I will never feel the warmth from your touch. I will only feel the cold you possess; frozen, like I'm swimming in a river from point A to point B to point C to point you, a destination that is impossible to travel to. And as I stare at your irises, I see nothing but darkness, like midnight; a horizon devoid of stars - no glistening, no twinkle in your eye - there's no spark, and if it's present, it's most likely light years away, and probably already gone. And in this room, I must not go by a name. I am just another passerby that has nothing more than false hopes. And whilst we dance the dance, I realize that it is nothing more than a celebration of my insignificance to your life. You see, we built this bridge, and I thought that it'd be one where we would both walk across, but it looks like it's beginning to collapse right at the seams. And the fact of the matter is, I, out of the seven billion cells on this orbiting sphere, am truly the unluckiest man in the world. And that's why you need to be forever burnt."
Back when we were young and careless,
Without much reason or intellect,
I grabbed hold of your perfect mind,
And through inexperience, tried to connect
With you, and express my honest, deepest sentiments,
Avoiding every resentment.
But I over-analyzed, and fantasized
A wondrous story, seen through both of our eyes...
That's why you're forever burnt.
And through this forest of ripened green,
These leaves, they flowed with your elegant shape.
And I kissed your sweet hands, your shining skin.
But that's all inside me; a futile escape
For my weakened soul; a shell, now, of what it used to be,
Stuck in agony, impotent, and drowned in misery
I never wanted my young life to go down this path,
But these misfortunes, they point towards an awful aftermath.
That’s why you’re forever burnt.
And all the musings that live inside my brain;
They are the catalysts for all of my pain.
And every argument that's ever emerged;
They bloomed from terror, with my aplomb submerged.
Yet I still hold on to toxic memories,
And I still see you, with utmost clarity.
I talk to you, I look at you, and I still care for you.
But I know, somewhere deep down, I should just let go of you.
So, please, be forever...
Blue Navy is the former slowcore alias of Pennsylvania singer-songwriter Jake Dryzal. Influenced by ambient, ethereal wave,
and post-rock, Blue Navy's album trilogy ("Mine" [2016], "Ours" [2017], and "Yours" [2020]) utilizes reverb-drenched guitar melodies and dense synthesizer pads to guide Dryzal's somber lyricism. Jake currently records under his new folk rock pseudonym, Great American Racer....more
