LIFT
Tempted by roads painted in white
Yet following the gray.
You have misplaced the live desire
To live or go away.
You string your thoughts behind those eyes
Like bricks necklaced in a chain.
To push aside the darkness that binds
Is a strength you cannot claim.
Curling your hands into a fist
And wishing for escape.
Time doesn't stop, but it's changing you
Into a different shape.
Into a different shape.
Arch yourself above the thoughts
That bleed dark into your stare
I see demons and clipped wing angels
Lift your gaze up into mine
Lift your melancholy eyes
Heal your angels then you'll fly away.
Crafting the day, worry enslaved
Advice has made you weaker
Holding your breath is heaven sent
But know when to release it
Know when to release it.
Know when to release it.
Arch yourself above the thoughts
That bleed dark into your stare
I see demons and clipped wing angels
Lift your gaze up into mine
Lift your melancholy eyes
Heal your angels then you'll fly away.
Do you want to go home and be born again?
Do you need to hear a gentle whisper
Or be held while you sleep?
Would you like to change?
Would it feel strange to be loved?
Oh. to be loved!
You've crucified yourself in your eyes
Without a resurrection.
It's all inside, the shield you need
To block blades which cause the questions.
Blades which cause the questions.
Blades which cause the questions.
Arch yourself above the thoughts
That bleed dark into your stare
I see demons and clipped wing angels
Lift your gaze up into mine
Lift your melancholy eyes
Heal your angels then you'll fly away.
