Echoes, smoldering designs
Smudge the lenses scan these
Filtered thoughts of shaken minds
Rogue arrivals leave their
Feathers wilted at the door
A willful severance of the
Life they had before
Clipped my wings and drove this dagger in my knee
Trim the petals paint the vases emerald green
In brainless pageantry
A room with crimson steam
Marble arches fill your vision with their gleam
Your life depends on me
I'll send your message
Won't drop it in the sand
I'll send your message
Just lay it in my hand
Kill me slowly with your voice
And live with the illusion that you ever had a choice
And once my mind was beaten down
And I was sunken in the ground
Clipped my wings and drove this dagger in my knee
Trim the petals paint the vases emerald green
In brainless pageantry
A room with crimson steam
Marble arches fill your vision with their gleam
Your life depends on me
I'll send your message
Won't drop it in the sand
I'll send your message
Just lay it in my hand
