lyrics
Fragile shell
It’s my responsibility
To find, to rectify
The smudge on the lens
Distortion projected out of quiet lies
Last vestige of a moment yet unloved
Shy affliction
Ancient pain
Once cornerstone of protection
Now you scurry from the light
Would you show us
What you’ve become?
Would you show yourself,
Shadow Walker?
Shatter all this
This ornately wrapped delusion
This fool’s gold
Bound in fear
Obsolete
There’s a greater wolf to feed
Piercing shame, clear as day
I speak your name
I choose to live
To face myself again
And again
Fall away
All
The symptoms justified
Attend the root
Look me in the Eye
Through the clever fraud of time
Grasp this callused root
And pull
Throes of letting go
Only to realize that I decide
Look me in the Eye
What am I defending?
Grasp this callused root
And pull
I choose to live
To face myself again
And again
Take it off
All
The masks and the facades
Begin anew
Shatter all
Delusion
This fool’s gold
Bound in fear
Obsolete
Ancient pain
Piercing shame
I speak your name
