Lyrics
Messiah Complex I: Ivory Tower
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.
Shameless, skying above
Preying on the nameless
Jury and judge
Everything they had was never enough
Spirit me away
Crawling under my skin, spiraling through my head
Taste my own medicine, drunk on the power
Rid this pestilence from within, a prayer for the innocent
Talk me down from the ledge of my ivory tower
Struggle to be in the now
When life's too much to swallow
It spits me right out, but I cling on
Reaping seeds I dare to sow
For all the lives I ever stole
And now I must repel the host
Forever I'll be spirited away
Crawling under my skin, spiraling through my head
Taste my own medicine, drunk on the power
Rid this pestilence from within, a prayer for the innocent
Talk me down from the ledge of my ivory tower
Where I end, you begin
When I fall, you will stand
