Lyrics
Ephemeral
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Obscure reflections stare back at me
Through the tainted water
Neglected exposure
I am the product of this distorted culture
Eclipsed by my antic disposition
I'm merely an illusionary shell fed to chimeras
Fragmented am I
Fragmented constructs of a fluorescent realm
Incept a twilight and destruct the elms
A collective myopic gaze entrances us all
Oh, how I pity this despondent existence
The lustrous phantom speaks of tongues obscured
The pale lumiére speaks of eyes deluded
My innocence was stolen by the birds who couldn’t see
Singing sonnets as the earth stood still and screamed
And at the end of it all
I was torn from my soul
Begging that one day
I might be whole
And at the end of it all
I might be whole
I set my heart ablaze and watched it flare nihility
But then the gateway appeared to me
And showed me the path
That would reconstruct my life
And purge this condition
And understand my disdain
This world is nothing more
Than the quintessence of dust
Show me how to rid myself of the shadows that lurk inside of me
And at the start of it all
I was torn from soul
Begging that one day
In time
I might be whole
Show me how to rid myself of the shadows that lurk in me
There are shadows that lurk in me
