lyrics

Come unto the lowliest form
All of you so tattered and torn
What is it to be a human being?
Spoken like a child in his youth
The bearer of a fantasy’s truth
And you laugh a liar’s laugh at the lie
Intoxicated until you die

Welcome to a world within limits
You were born to die in it
Victims of the infinite
Have a suck of the lemons
Taste the flavor within
In a world within limits

At the altar of it’s precedents
Reason never fails to take offence
On the question it cannot start
Smothered in the crux of the heart
Silence is the presence of faith
Never does it say what they say
Darkness at the face of the leap
Keeper of whatever you keep

With dove like wings my bird will sing
The echo within is all that I am
All as it appears shatters in the mirror
So run to the ledge, just drop off the edge

I feel so high I could fly
Never have I felt so alive
Poison my little black eye
Fall down from alien skies
