Lyrics
Orchid
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.
As our world oscillates to shake the weak remains, show your strength
Resist all temptation to follow illusions expressed with safety
Open up your wings, and fly to sanctuary
Trying to dislocate from talk and scoff that shows them what they are
Murderous words might as well been sent by a bullet
Keep your eyes closed and your fingers crossed
‘Til our paths meet, I'll try to lead the way
As our world oscillates to shake the weak remains, show your strength
Resist all temptation to follow illusions expressed with safety
Open up your wings, and fly to sanctuary
Trying to dislocate from talk and scoff that shows them what they are
Murderous words might as well been sent by a bullet
Keep your eyes closed, and your fingers crossed
Till our paths meet, I'll try to lead the way
Take me back to who I was back then
I'll show you what life means to me again
I'll lift the weight, so you don't have to fall
Brother, when every muscle strains
I will lift the weight for you
Sister, if you just call my name, I will lift the weight for you
You can't find the strength, your eyes loose resistance, I will lift the weight for you
I wasn't there for the darkest of hallways, the longest of paths
A crazy train going off the tracks
Catch my fall when the earth shakes..catch my fall when the earth shakes
Take me back to who I was back then
An honest man and a faithful friend
I'll show you what life means to me again
Maybe in due time, you'll let me in
Take me back to who I was back then
An honest man and a faithful friend
I'll show you what life means to me again
Maybe in due time, you'll let me in
'Cause there is so much left to amend
Brother, when every muscle strains, I will lift the weight for you
Sister, if you just call my name, I will lift the weight for you
You can't find the strength, your eyes lose resistance, I will lift the weight for you
I know that we've changed, but this remains consistent, I will lift the weight for you
We pick at the scab. It bleeds and it bleeds
Extending the healing to keep us contained
A week doppelganger, the bastard one
I'll leave you behind and continue on
