Song information
Artist: To Elysium
Album: Nightmare's Nest
Lyrics
["Nothing is more certain than that worlds on worlds, and spheres in spheres, stretch behind and beyond the actually seen." - e. carpenter, the drama of love and death.]
Speak my pain, c'mon scoundrel
Fears under the fearless surface
Eyes stare everywhere
A lazy man's load of envy
Stands still somewhere
I saw redemption in you
And rushed to kiss its ghost
One kiss of cloven tongue
Before the poison overdosed
Make it painless, inject me a remedy
Absynthe twin stars
Unforgiving switchblade screen
Looking like revenge against murder
Merely reflecting what they've seen
I know the lines and shadows in your face
Soul-searching view won't settle
Cast the twilight of my days
In the most depraved of ways
Bordered to what is humane
Your eyes promise me pain
Make it painless, inject me a remedy
But there wasn't place for all of it, leaking out all over me
Vital pyres, fatal fires, insatiable animal
Intimidating me
As you set out your hounds
Assaulting my lucidity
Look askance
