Lyrics
Elysian Woes
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.
What is left when the morning comes
Is the memory of a future
And when my plight is done
There is nothing left to hold on to
There were friends waiting at my door
They are gone now, for the year is new
I stuck by my word
And when the rains came
Made it true and pure, to dissolve the hurt
Are we nursing destruction?
Pursuing a dream we once had
Was it our intention
To follow this road 'til the end
Even if the end is a world of sorrow?
There is a bond between us
Even if it's frayed it is unbreakable
So I come for you always
And I welcome pain
For a second of belonging somewhere
There were times when I lost my way
With hope pouring from my soul
In a shelter from the sun
I don't want to bare my scars for you
