Eidola - Companion pt. 1: Narrative lyrics

rate me

There was something inside

derived while staying in sight

despite the always growing cold, something untold, few get to hear

but this man had an ear

heart and eyes to see

stuck to the path, worked hard to keep his positivity

as a rose will have its thorns

a life with beauty so adorned

still often stung

and would become

something that he could accept

except the one I knew so well

familiarized himself in hell

his nights submerged in red lights

spent trying to recall himself

But he couldn't find himself

and he can't shut it out

Nothing restores his peace, his only comfort is the steady panting of a beast

questioning, in his confusion he rejects his faith for fear of all illusions

tells himself he can make it through the night so long as he keeps it from his mind

away from love that he once believed, only then it begins to bare its teeth

can't move his feet forward, towards joy,

looking for words to drown out the noise

but all he hears now is the barking that he can't shut out

Cant shut it out

it never leaves

it never leaves me

it never leaves

Can't find the strength to fight it off

day and night it resides faithfully at his side

one voice could place his heart at ease, but he'll never know that relief

seeing what's in the way from you he sings

will this ever fucking leave me

<br />
