Exitus - Drifting II

Music, lyrics and arrangements by Daniel Gildenlow

Imago:
|
(I will never submit to all the things you've said god!)
|
No!
|
|
We're breaching the core - we're breaching the core
|
We're breaching the core - we're breaching...
|
|
To taste it
|
To touch it
|
Cut my hand
|
To crave it
|
Enslave it
|
Pluck my eye
|
|
I can never submit to all the things you've said God
|
If you want me dead, I'm right here God
|
But fear is a funny thing God
|
In that it gives you the strength to resist just about anything God
|
And friend turns to enemy
|
So easily
|
When you defend your legacy with guilt
|
And talk of blasphemy
|
God
|
You know
|
You created a golden cage for you sheep
|
A stage too wide and deep for us to even see the play
|
But hey
|
You know what they say about catching the bird
|
But you can't make it sing?
|
You lose the bird the second it loses its wings
|
Just like I reckon you will lose your herd
|
To choirs of ¡±I am, I am, I am¡±
|
And mountains and mountains of money and things!
|
|
We're breaching the core - all breaching
|
We're breaching the core - still breaching
|
|
Animae:
|
"Help me I'm starting to fade
|
Save me I'm drifting away"
|
|
Imago:
|
But we can change
|
We can change...?
|
I said we can change!
|
|
We can change, we can change - still breaching...
|
We can change, we can change - still breaching...
|
|
I hold it
|
I'm never
|
Letting go
|
I settle for rash rather than risk going to slow
|
I sought it
|
I killed it
|
But now I know
|
I'm left somewhat broken but I won't let it show
|
Hear me now!
|
|
Animae:
|
"Man is shattered
|
I am shattered
|
My shards have become shards of their own
|
Pieces of pieces, impossible to put back together
|
Spending their lives seeking a context they were always a part of
|
And so, they leave the context
|
And we shrink
|
I fade
|
And nothing more can be learnt or taught
|
I have no choice but to leave them to their own devices
|
I have come to understand one thing and one thing alone
|
One little piece of understanding
|
Glowing through this void of blankness and clean slates
|
Like a beacon of hope
|
Or just a reminder that I was always wrong:
|
|
Searching for yourself is like looking for the house you stand in
|
How could you possibly find it?
|
It's everywhere
|
It's all you know
|
And there are no other points of reference"
|
|
Animae:
|
Help me I'm starting to fade
|
Save me, I'm drifting away
|
Help me, I'm dying now
|
(Imago: What are these stains? They stay, stay when it rains...)
|
Curtains before my final bow
|
(Imago: ...burning my skin. It's burning... burning... burning my skin!)
|
Drifting, just drifting away
|
(Imago: Burning... Take it away, it's burning me... Burning my skin!)
|
Leaving with all that's still left to say
|
(Imago: Now life... now life... fails our kin!)
|
I failed
|
I failed
|
We failed
|
We failed...
