Lyrics

Royal Blue

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I was a coward disguised as a lover

Of the beautiful invisible truth

I was a burning man

In the well lit corner of an empty room

I was cruel, I was so cruel

I was so cruel, so cruel when I was dying

I was cool, I was so, so cool

I was so cool, so cool when I was dying

Passed out and indifferent

Yea, I had a vision

Lay there long enough

To make it a scene

I was convincing my new friends I was missing

Nothing and everything

Steadily repeat I was in love with what they needed

Nothing and everything, everything, everything, everything

Man I told you I was cruel, I was so cruel

I was so cruel, so cruel when I was dying

And I was cool, I was so, so cool

I was so cool, so cool when I was dying

I was a royal shade of blue,

I was a royal shade of blue

It's freezing in oakland

He's holding, I'm coasting

I should be done for the night

As soon as I'm home

You'll be up and going

In transit but trapped at a light

I was cruel, I was so cruel

I was so cruel, so cruel when I was dying

And I was cool, I was so, so cool

I was so cool, so cool when I was dying

I was a royal shade of blue,

I was a royal shade of blue
