To Elysium - Dualism lyrics

rate me

["Opposition is true friendship." - W. Blake]

Involuntarily silent I fade into you.

My voice goes unheard, near you I am mute.

I know there's a way to make it through this,

then my silence is worth, silence worth a wish.

I wanted to have a look on the inside,

to see if it's safe, if only for a while.

Any time at day this feeling might come,

any time at night it might be gone again.

Staring off into space, speaking words in random.

I sing, I cry, I spy, I lie, I grow, I shrink, I soar, I sink.

Facedown in the spiral of shame,

weak and melting, tension's building all around.

A deceiving secrecy encircles and frightens me.

An eye for an eye never made so blind.

A stake for a spine and find the fear where love is lust.

I reach out and seize to bury it back into me.

Streaming through the colour of you.

A cripple love is taking life.

We fought in vain to shelter our souls,

but failed to jump over our own shadow.
