Lyrics
Mud and Dark
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.
Echo fell in love with the handsome narcissus
Narcissus struggles who heard walking
It was the nearest to perfection
"Is anyone here?" "Here here" "Come, come, I will beg you."
Before I give you power over me
I give you power over me
And that remains her fate, always her voice echoes (x2)
Still repeating only what others have said (x2)
Naricuss we both are ugly
For I dreamt for him to find, hold
A lovely face in the reflected image
Construed by the futile, befallen to have his affection
It turned her so so slowly wasted
I know you didn't come to me to lay here
And that remains her fate, always her voice echoes (x2)
Still repeating only what others have said (x2)
(x2)
And after that she hoped to come as he said
He's found it funny they all want to piss on her
And she repeated the same words to them
And echo's flesh has always start all again
And she bows down to starve to death
Oh, but she isn't thinking this before sinking
Is anyone here, here, here?
Come, come
I will die
Before I give you power over me
I give you power over me
