Erised

There's a vessel and it's sinking at sea

An apparition that's beckoning me

As the cold dark night brings on the sweat

I slowly drift away

Stuck down in the bottom of the orange cylindrical state of mind

What are we running from?

There's a distant sound of a melody

Release me from this plane

A life to live, a sedative under the skin

Bury it, carry the cure

Just let emotion set devotion within your heart to collect the debt we sow

Step out from the moonlight like it's a game we play

The checkerboard is tainted, drops of red will lead the way

Black are their lies

Gold are the tongues of the glorified

Command disease of the body and mind

Stuck down in the bottom of the orange cylindrical state of mind

What are we running from?

There's a distant sound of a melody

Release me from this plane

A life to live, a sedative under the skin

Bury it, carry the cure

Just let emotion set devotion within your heart to collect the debt we sow

A life to live, a sedative

A life to live, a sedative under the skin

Just let emotion set devotion within your heart to collect the debt we sow

Collecting sanity, simply ready for the life that awaits your lead

There's a distant sound of a melody and I won't leave this place
