Lyrics

[00:43.76] My mind wandered off in the distance,
[00:50.68] Where I am far from all that cages me
[00:57.74] All I could think of was death
[01:02.64]
[01:05.08] Her name disguised in silence
[01:07.97] Angelwings and ravenclaws...
[01:11.65] The shredding of my soul,
[01:17.48]
[01:22.24] Steeped in a lavender smile
[01:26.43] In thy eyes
[01:28.99] The womb of thy despair
[01:32.68] Embrace my life
[01:35.87] Within thy empty stare
[01:40.43]
[01:44.30] The overcast sky consoling me,
[01:49.87]
[01:51.06] The fortitude within my grasp
[01:58.12] I think to myself I'm the sad clown
[02:05.24] Smiling reluctantly, but crying behind the iron curtain
[02:13.24]
[02:15.30] These tears don't fall so easily
[02:24.68]
[02:26.55] In thy eyes
[02:29.49] The womb of thy despair
[02:33.11] Embrace my life
[02:36.30] Within thy empty stare
[02:41.49]
[03:38.19] Damn the illusion which fell upon me!
[03:44.75] The bitter wine of reality poured all over my face...
[03:52.01] And I despise what I've become
[03:56.82] Just a terrified man, secluded and trapped in time
[04:06.51] In thy eyes
[04:09.01] The womb of thy despair
[04:12.52] Embrace my life
[04:15.83] Within thy empty stare
[04:19.85]
[04:21.48] Together let us roam
[04:23.74] Through endless dreams of night
[04:27.06] The moon as our limit
[04:30.17] And our souls as guiding light
[04:34.43]
[04:49.28] But how can I refuse my empathy to be resolute?
[04:54.40] Cause it feels like... I'm dying
[04:56.29]
[04:57.67] I have nothing to gain where there is nothing to lose
[05:02.42]
[05:07.11]
