For Real Lyrics - Black Sheep Boy - Okkervil River

Some nights I thirst for real blood, 

for real knives, for real cries. 

And then the flash of steel from real guns 

in real life really fills my mind. 

I really miss what really did exist 

when I held your throat so tight. 

And I miss the bus as it swerved from us 

and came crashing to its side. 

Some nights the blood from real cuts 

feels real nice when it's really mine. 

And if you want it to be real, 

come over for one night, 

and we can really, really climb.

Cuz blue bridge lights 

might really burn most bright 

while we watch that dark lake rise. 

And if you really want to see 

what really matters most to me, 

just take a real short drive. 

its just a drive into the dark stretch, 

long stretch of night, 

really stretch this shaking mind. 

And this room, unlit, unheated, 

and the ceiling striped, 

and the dark black blinds... 

I want to know this time 

If you're really finally mine 

I need to know that you're not lying, 

and so I want to see you tried. 

And I don't want to hear you say 

it shouldn't really be this way, 

because I like this way just fine. 

Photos 

Cuz there's nothing quite like 

the blinding light 

that curtain's cast aside, 

and no attempt is made to explain away 

things that really, really, really really really are behind. 

You can't hide. 

You can't hide. 

You can't hide. 

You can't hide...
