lyrics
{Lyrics: 2013-12-24}
: There's a state in my world that I visit sometimes.
No matter how real it seems, I know it's only in my mind.
But it's more real than this, this void of a world
where I live in disgust, and slowly grow more old.
Now the lust has decayed, I've forgotten that state,
so I must leave here now, in my dreams I find escape.
> Looking backwards on disaster,
falling into patterns I don't know how to recognize.
Bitter present, anti-future,
my view is distorted, empty distance in my eyes. <
~ Now I'm falling hard, gravity pulls me down.
~ A force I can't control brings me to the ground.
~ If I could just react for once in my life,
~ and stop pretending that I want to die...
::~~~~::
:: There's a spark in your eyes that's reflecting through mine
as a real feedback loop, connecting in our minds.
It's an intense desire that I thought would just die
as if I can't grow, and only live a lie.
But I feel better now, that my future's obscured,
and the spark in my eyes, it reflects back so pure.
>> Breathing through you, talking to you
thinking of nothing but the present with you.
Thinking to you, breathing through you
Letting fate take its course without looking back. <<
~ Now I'm falling hard, I can't believe my heart.
~ A force I can't control pushes me into your arms.
~ It's a feeling I know, an embrace from ages ago...
