Twilight fades Through blistered avalon The sky's cruel torch On aching autobahn Into the uncertain divine We scream into the last divide You make me real You make me real Strong as I feel You make me real Sheila rides On crashing nightingale Intake eyes Leaves passing vapour trails With blushing brilliance Alive Because it's time to arrive You make me real You make me real Strong as I feel You make me real Lately I just can't seem to believe Discard my friends To change the scenery It meant the world To hold a bruising faith But now it's just a matter of grace A summer storm Graces all of me Highway warm Sing silent poetry I could bring you the light And take you home Into the night You make me real Lately I just can't seem to believe Discard my friends To change the scenery Strong as I feel It meant the world To hold a bruising faith You make me real But now it's just a matter of grace |

Available on: Adore To Sheila US Promo CD
Other Info: Drums by former touring drummer, Matt Walker. Additional vocals by Dennis and Jimmy Flemion. In the Rock Radio Network Adore premiere, Billy said that this song was one of those songs where he discovered more use of space. So much of their other stuff has so much density to it, he said. During the interview with Jeff Woods during the Adore premiere, Woods commented on how the lyric "intake eyes" was "a cool bit of lyrical prowess". Billy went onto say in response "I don't know what I was trying to say there but it sounded good." The song was released as a radio promo.
Song Secrets: -dUP - There is a weird high-pitched noise in "To Sheila" most noteable in the beginning, but it goes throughout the whole song. - also, you can hear Billy breath or take a breath at 0:03. - and at the end of the song, 4:38, you can hear a thumping sound, like a guitar being put down or something.
