"Embracer" lyrics - THE SMASHING PUMPKINS

THE SMASHING PUMPKINS
"Embracer"

As stilled as a flower
As ruined as a saint where true met true
Let's feast on his rage
Unleash what allays our muse

[Chorus:]
I realize, realize
I realize
I'd believed what was lonely in you
"I realize,"
Said the knife to the spoon
"I believed what was lonely in you"

Shake hard, this summons
With bottles tossed
Down said seas of noise
In notes and sighs to the void

[Pre-Chorus:]
I'd love you to follow
A star on the rise, entombed by blue
In heed of the sage
I've sent out a faith
Once removed

[Chorus:]
I realize, realize
I realize
It's only the lonely who should lose
"I realize,"
Said the knife to the spoon
"It's only the lonely who lose."

As fools 'cross a cosmos
As a soot on your age
Where true cuts true
I've had you beside
To show me what always might do

[Pre-Chorus:]
I'd love you to follow
A star on the rise, entombed by blue
In heed of the sage
I've sent out a faith
Once removed

[Chorus:]
I realize, realize
I realize
It's only the lonely who should lose
"I realize,"
Said the knife to the spoon
"It's only the lonely who lose."

[Chorus:]
I realize, realize
I realize
It's only the lonely
