Lyrics
Black Lake
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.
Our love was my womb
But our bond has broken
My shield is gone
My protection is taken
I am one wound
My pulsating body
Suffering being
My heart is enormous lake
Black with potion
I am blind drowning
In this ocean
My soul torn apart
My spirit is broken
Into the fabric of all he is woven
You fear my limitless emotions
I am bored of your apocalyptic obsessions
Did I love you too much?
Devotion bent me broken
So I rebelled, destroyed
The icon
I did it for love
I honored my feelings
You betrayed your own heart
Corrupted that organ
Family was always our sacred mutual mission
Which you abandoned
You have nothing to give
Your heart is hollow
I’m drowned in sorrows
No hope in sight of ever recover
Eternal pain and horrors
I am a glowing shiny rocket
Returning home
As I enter the atmosphere
I burn off layer by layer
