Deviate Lyrics by Vanessa Daou

Welcome To My Blues: An Anthology (1994-2017)

0

[Verse 1]
I open up the pages of your life
And read the first lines
Your life reads like a deviant's manual
And I learned something about mine

[Pre-Chorus]
I have lived to breathe you
Felt the Earth beneath you
In my need to reach you
I have learned your secret

[Chorus]
When you find a bend in the road, go straight
When the sign points one way, deviate
On the path to salvation, the world is your creation
Saying this to you, saying this to me

[Verse 2]
[?] what we think it is at all
It's not thе gold frames on white walls
Music is not what we hеar in polished halls
It's not faceless bands [?]
Deviance is not tailored suits or computer games
Pierced tongues or sex rings
Love for [?] under dirty sheets

[Pre-Chorus]
I have lived to breathe you
Talk the Earth beneath you
In my need to reach you
I have learned your secret

[Chorus]
When you find a bend in the road, go straight
When the sign points one way, deviate
On the path to salvation, the world is your creation
Saying this to you, saying this to me
Saying this to you, saying this to me
Saying this to you, saying this to me

[Verse 3]
I listen to your beautifully contorted minds
And Africa [?] roots of subconsciousness
Salvos and black notes laid out like machine gun fire
Bullet holes in the fabric of time
Changing the way the real is defined

[Pre-Chorus]
I have lived to breathe you
Talk the Earth beneath you
In my need to reach you
I have learned your secret

[Chorus]
When you find a bend in the road, go straight
When the sign points one way, deviate
On the path to salvation, the world is your creation
Saying this to you, saying this to me
Saying this to you, saying this to me
